All right? Happy 2024 and welcome to our first podcast of the year. Headlining this month was the fiery Julie Easely. Hailing from Teeside, Julie is a working-class poet, a queer ally, and let me tell you, she is angry!

From the open mic this month we have Imagine a River by Philip E. Cassidy, Chalice Well by Rebecca Kime, Smile by Kevin Robson, and This Gift by Helen Rogers. And from Julie's headline set we have Let Them Eat Chips, Imagine, and They Really Don't Care.

Massive thanks to Pop Recs for hosting us, to Julie for travelling all the way from Saltburn, and to all of our many, many contributors. Toodle-oo!

King Ink is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman.
