Hi,

I present a weekly podcast radio programme called Homegrown from Birmignham in the UK, dedicated to new independent music and poetry. It's an eclectic mix of new artists from around the world that wouldn't normally receive any airplay on mainstram radio. Podcasting is changing all that, it's a great way for artists to get herd by a wide audience. I am looking for poets who would like exposure for their work, are you able to record yourself reading your poetry and send it to me as mp3 file? Do you have downloadable poetry on the internet? If so please get in contact with me at nic@homegrownpodcast.co.uk

Even if you do not have the ability to record your work send me the text and I'll read it on the podcast. There is now a growing group of podcasts catering for poetry and they have formed together the association of poetry podcasting, more info at http://poetrypodcasting.org/


If you wanna check out my podcast please go to http://www.homegrownpodcast.co.uk


Hope to hear your poetry soon.

Fantastic stuff, Nic, really glad to have you aboard ... though do come back, yeah? Don't just fish for pods and cast us aside once we're all squeezed out. Also, I see you're on MySpace, from your recent email to me. Why not post up your other contacts too, as we have several MySpace members on this forum who might like to make friends with you ... so to speak!

Jane ;)

Nic's podcast is one of my favourites, and he's a really nice guy. I suggest you go over to his website and have a listen. And I'm sure he'll come back, if you tell him you found him on this Forum!
Simon.

Yep Jayne I will come back, for anyone who wants to make friends via myspace with me or my podcast please goto
