Poetry & Chicken

What do you get when you take a wonderful podcast listenership, and jokingly challenge them to a poetry competition?

Yep! More poems than you could ever even hope to read out in one episode.

Instead we have created Poetry & Chicken, which will be regularly updated and stay on our website for anyone to peruse, so please do keep creating and submitting poems. We’re loving it!
