For the very first episode of Sonnet Youth Podcast, Cat Hepburn (@CatHepburnWrite) and Kevin P Gilday (@KevinPGilday) celebrate four years of running their spoken word houseparty. They answer audience questions, discuss their origin story, being drunk onstage, working with artists and name their dream guests.

The SY team also play some exclusive archive footage of comedy writer Rab Florence (@RobertFlorence) reading from his book Poetry and Swearing Vol 1 (Speculative Books) at the live show Sonnet Youth #13.

Cat and Kev also give some recommendations of stuff to watch and listen to (spoiler alert: basketball) and put it to you the listeners: who should they interview as their first guest? Use #SYpodcast to let them know!
