Happy UNESCO World Poetry Day to you! To celebrate the Isle of Man UNESCO World Biosphere status, the first living Manx Bard Stacey Astill, has been asked to write an ode to the Island. Geoffrey Boot is here to tell us what UNESCO World Biosphere Status means for the Isle of Man and how the partnership with the Manx Bard came about, and Stacey Astill tells us about her inspiration.
Comedian, writer and performer, Steve Goldsmith joins us now to tell us about a huge range of poetry and performance events at which you can hear some fantastic stories and poetry and have a go at performing some too!
The next Short Stories and Ludicrous Tales event takes place at Foraging Vintners on April the 12th.
