“I feel like I have found something I have been looking for; something where you can hear the voice of others in their intimacy and their humanity. It's so simple yet so important to listen to each other. I'm hooked. I think it's very special what you are doing, thank you.”

The Poetry Exchange Podcast shares the conversations we have been having with people about Poems as Friends.
In each 20-minute episode you will hear an individual talking about a poem that has been a friend to them, as well as the ‘gift’ recording of the poem that has been made for them, in response to their thoughts and feelings about the poem.
