Wordplay Podcast—the Sound of Poetry

For 18 years the popular Wordplay poetry podcast aired weekly on Cleveland’s WJCU FM station to a local audience of poetry lovers. Now Wordplay is available anytime, anywhere.

For thirty minutes hosts GEORGE BILGERE and JOHN DONOGHUE—both of them poets themselves—read contemporary poems by writers like Billy Collins, Dorianne Laux, Seamus Heaney, Naomi Shihab Nye, Tony Hoagland, and Ross Gay. They banter about poetry, argue about it, have a lot of laughs, and generally give each other a hard time.
