Podcast Corner: Three favourites return for new seasons
George the Poet: Have You Heard George's Podcast? has changed the game for the medium
We’ve written before about this multi-award-winning, acclaimed show, the brainchild of George The Poet. It’s now into its fourth season, 30-plus episodes and is still as striking and unique as ever. Previous seasons have found George talking variously, in verse, about Britain, his newfound fame (he wrote and read a poem at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan), rap music, and racism. With production by BenBrick and featuring the BBC Concert Orchestra, it sounds like nothing else in podcasting. This time, George, newly wedded and father to a young baby, is turning his eye to colonialism, to Africa and the Caribbean and their struggle for independence.“
