EMMA PURSHOUSE LIVE ON RADIO WILDFIRE

http://www.radiowildfire.com/ Monday 4th April 8.00-10.00 pm (UK time). + Roy McFarlane's Laureate's Diary from 10.00pm

April already and the shower at Radio Wildfire are set to stream you another realtime programme of spoken word and live literature, commentary and humour on Radio Wildfire Live! ...

Joining us in the studio will be David Calcutt, playwright, storyteller, poet and novelist, with his latest novel, the recently completed The Hunt for the Great Bear. Set in a distant future during another ice age, with many species of animals extinct and the few humans that remain living as in the ancient paleolithic, a small group of hunters set out to hunt the legendary Great Bear. What begins as an epic adventure becomes a mythic journey ... listen in to learn more.

Poet and slam champ Emma Purshouse will join us too with extracts from her Offa's Press cd Upsetting the Apple Cart and discussing her contribution to Snug, a successful spoken word pub show from Brewers' Troupe performed in public bars and where you find the action all around you.

We'll also be talking to Gary Longden the Spoken Word editor of Behind the Arras the online review magazine that continues to be the only theatrical website nationally which reports and reviews Spoken Word events. He'll be giving us his personal choice of the best spoken word artists and venues around at the moment.

There'll be tracks which have been recently uploaded to the Submit page of out website from Stephen Mead and Ryan Cole, both from the USA, from Mark Goodwinform from the UK, and from others; plus humour from the community of Little Hope, as we continue to dig down into the life of one community in rural England as Tony Judge reads from the Little Hope Parish Magazine.

Then at 10.00 pm you'll get the latest instalment of the Laureate's Diary from current Birmingham Poet Laureate Roy McFarlane. More recollections, musing and poems from another month in his hectic poetry year.

Join us: Monday 4th April from 8.00 pm UK time at www.radiowildfire.com
