Episode description
Join Ian McMillan for a festive recording of The Verb, in which we'll encounter a parade of imaginary creatures conjured through poems and songs and stories brought by his guests. The poet and performer John Hegley has written us a brand new poem, YA superstar Melvin Burgess tells us about his debut adult novel ‘Loki’, poet and playwright Testament will be performing a piece from his show ‘Blake Remixed’ fusing hip-hop with the iconic poetry of William Blake and folk singer Bella Hardy who'll be talking about her return to traditional ballads and of course singing a song or two.
