This month we used our vocal chords to explore...voice. This podcast see host Pad Browne make a trademark gaff and we bother strangers in the street(again). With a selection of brilliant poets and an interview with headliner George Miaris this episode is not to be missed.

At the last Lovely Word over 70 people joined together to wish Ralph a speedy recovery. Get well soon Ralph.

This month we caught up with Writing on the Wall's Ciaran Hodgers - and plunged into the world of stereotypes. We heard some brilliant poets, played some excellent poetry games, and much more listen. Plug in and listen!

This month's theme was self. In the Podcast we consider this through the poems we heard on the night at the Everyman Bistro, through talking to the estate agents of Liverpool, and through the words of our excellent headliner. This month it was poet and playwright Jackie Hagan, who enlightened and thrilled us in interview. Enjoy!
