Mark Grist, a 39-year-old Ex-English teacher & multi-award-winning poet, has been using his time in lockdown to learn how to rap. Along the way he’s interviewed some of the world’s greatest emcees & learnt lessons that have made him completely re-think his life. Whether you're an aspiring rapper, a fan of the English language, or just interested in hearing an incredible story about fear, hope & the power of human connection, then this is the podcast for you.
