The Loudcast is back with a special episode for our 2024 Grand Slam Final! Host Kevin Mclean interviews last year's champion RJ Hunter about her experience of competing in 2023, emerging victorious, and the impact it's had on her career. Kev and RJ chat about this year's Slam Series so far and preview Saturday's talent-packed Grand Slam Final at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Tickets are now SOLD OUT for our 2024 Grand Slam Final, but keep an eye on the EIBF website or contact their box office in case of returns: https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/whats-on/loud-poets-grand-slam-final-2024 The three poems Kev and RJ discuss are: Susi Briggs - The Routin' Brig (performed at the 2024 South Slam Heat) Drew Gill - Burial (performed at the 2024 Central Slam Heat) RJ Hunter - Body Horror (performed with Jack Hinks at the 2023 Grand Slam Final) RJ Hunter (they/she) is an award-winning performance poet and writer based in Glasgow. Known for pieces ranging from razor-sharp to delightfully silly, Hunter's blistering performances have seen them travel the UK with her debut solo show 'Stupid Sexy Poem Show' (Playing at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 at the Scottish Storytelling Centre on 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 19th at 8:45pm). Hunter’s debut collection ‘Flustercuck’ was released in 2023 and they became Loud Poets Grand Slam Champion in the same year. The following year, they were named runner-up at the Scottish Slam Poetry Finals.
The month of April is National Poetry Writing Month. Founded in the US in 2003, poets around the world join the challenge of writing poetry every day for thirty days. Here at I Am Loud HQ we did NaPoWriMo a little differently, by doing 5 poems across 5 weeks in April.
This week host Bex Sherwood speaks with regular guests Katie Ailes, Mark Gallie and Kevin Mclean about their writing this year, discusses Grackles, and shares poems from other poets in the scene.

Plus, we feature poetry from Carly Brown, Kevin Mclean, Hannah Lavery, and of course Len herself!
