On episode 182 I am joined by poet, artist and author, Joshua Luke Smith. Joshua writes poems for the people. His music has taken him all around the world, performing poems in prisons, to giving a TEDx talk and everything in between.

Joshua has just released his debut album Something You Once Knew which follows the release of his debut album The Void in 2021.

In this episode you will hear:
