It was announced today (Tuesday 5th November) that Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast will be returning for a 10th series. Following Bauer Media and Absolute Radio’s decision to cancel both this critically acclaimed podcast and his award-winning radio show six months ago, the new series, now in partnership with Adelicious, will once again see Frank dive into more of his favourite contemporary and classic works, reading extracts, analysing works, and dissecting the best verses of familiar and lesser-known poets in weekly segments.
Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast was launched to widespread critical acclaim in April 2020 and regularly reached the top podcast charts nationwide. The new series will include poets and poetry both past and present from the likes of Dylan Thomas, Rebecca Hawkes, Seamus Heaney, Frank O’Hara and Ruth Padel to name a few.
Commenting on his return with the 10th series, Frank said, “Making the poetry podcast is one of my deepest joys and I’m told there are thousands of people out there who actually listen to it. I’m very happy to be presenting them with Series Ten.”
A busy month has also seen Frank announce the launch of his other new podcast, “Frank Off The Radio”. The podcast features two episodes each week, released on Fridays and Mondays, reuniting Frank with his trusted co-hosts: broadcaster, author, and podcaster Emily Dean, alongside acclaimed comedian and writer Pierre Novellie. The first episode released on 11th October reached No.1 in the Comedy category.
Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast, produced by Avalon, will be available from Wednesday 13th November. You’ll be able to listen and download on all mainstream podcast platforms.
