Mark McDonnell posted a podcast by an English guy (his day job is standup comedy) whose name I can't remember (Frank?) who has a genuine love of and aptitude for understanding poetry. He speaks unpretentiously and emphatically about those poems and poets he loves and it is a thoroughly enjoyable listen. (I can't believe I let that one slip away from me — Maybe Mark can remind me?)

I'm in. I'll check it out. Thanks.
