Ryan and Leon are delighted to bring you your NEW favourite poetry podcast, exploring the work of poets old and new, with a little bit of craic mixed in.

We'll share our love of poetry every week, taking you on a journey through work from poets you'll have heard of, as well as poets you may not have heard of and even people you had no idea wrote poetry.!

We'll also help with our Agony Poet part of the show where we'll accept any challenge of solving a problem with a poem. Nothing is too trivial or too serious.

Ryan Duggins is a published English poet based in Dublin, with work found in journals Dreich, Flare and his first collection 'You're Never Too Old To Know Better' was published in April '23. He's also performed at Electric Picnic and is a regular on the open mic scene in Dublin

Leon Dunne is a spoken word artist and cornerstone of the poetry scene in Ireland. He is the 2022 All Ireland Poetry Slam Champion and co-founder of Rising Tide, an events company hosting the best spoken word performers the country has to offer out of Pearse Street library

Both of them are more fun than these descriptions would have you believe

Give us a follow, leave us a review, send this to your Ma' and join us :)

  • Ted Lasso, William S Burroughs And Saying Goodbye To 'Starting On' People
    Oct 26 2026

    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 -
