The Crunch Poetry Podcast: Recent Episodes

The Crunch

The Crunch is a multimedia poetry magazine. Each issue features a single poet, who has three of their poems filmed and uploaded to our video archive, and joins us for a short podcast.

​Concerned with neither bibliography nor honour roll, The Crunch instead focuses on writing that promotes discussion and broadens horizons. See all of our past issues at crunchpoetry.com
