A warm welcome to the introduction episode of The Poetry's Dead Podcast with Dublin poets Ryan Duggins and Leon Dunne.  You are very welcome indeed to our cool corner of spoken word and poetry hidden at the back of the pub where the locals aren't interested in joining in. Join Ryan and Leon on a short exploration into how poetry became such a big bloody deal in their lives, and why they are bothering with a whole never-ending podcast series about the worst topic in English class.  You can keep in touch with the lads over on instagram at @thepoetrysdeadpodcast and if you have a poem you'd like to share, or a problem you'd like our Agony Poet to solve then email us at [email protected] Original music by Matthew Keating Artwork by Paddy Downey Introduction and co-produced by Lisa Downey
