POETRY PODCAST ROUNDUP
Podcasts are a terrific resource for teachers and students to explore poetry. Here are a few I’ve been enjoying lately:
Hosted by poet Maggie Smith, The Slowdown offers a daily poem and reflection.
Every weekday, The Daily Poem presents a read-aloud (sometimes two if the poem is short) and brief commentary.
Hosted by the Academy of American Poets, the Poem-a-Day podcast is a read-aloud of the contemporary poem featured in the day’s newsletter.
PoetryNow is a weekly podcast hosted by the Poetry Foundation. In each episode, a poet introduces and reads one of their poems.
Each episode of Eh Poetry features a Canadian poem read three times with slight variations.
This podcast features a guest who reads and discusses a poem that has been a friend to them.
In each episode, the hosts take a deep dive into the work of a single poet.
Happy listening!
