What could be better than an Irish man reading and explaining poetry? Pádraig's love of poetry permeates this podcast, and I especially enjoy, on occasion, hearing poets read their work in their own voice. Ad-free. Transcripts available.

Each episode has a reading of a poem, followed by the host's musings or sharing of a related personal anecdote and then a repetition of the poem. A very soothing podcast. Hearing the poem a second time allows me to more deeply understand.
