We are ready to snuggle in to a new season of The Poetry's Dead Podcast with Ryan and Leon, keeping you company through the radiator months all the way into 2027.

You can tell we haven't spoken on-mic for 4 months from the absolute guff of stories and nonsense being spued by both of us this week. Luckily, between the guff, we have a load of poems for you.

We have a banger of a pience from Queer by William S Burroughs, poetry from Ted Lasso and Late Fame, a new movie where Willem Defoe plays the new york would-be poet Ed Saxberger who is rediscovered in his later years, great movie.

We have new words from Colm Keegan and the lastest release from Leon's music project DAGDA.

Our submission window is now open for our third installment of The Poetry's Dead Anthology so do send over your poems by using this link -
