Craig gets ready for National Poetry Day with one of the original Mersey Beat poets, Roger McGough.

They chat about his beginnings as part of The Scaffold, the longest-running poetry programme on radio, and his upcoming tour 'Alive and Gigging'.

Also on the show, Bradford-based poet Kirsty Taylor joins Craig's Class of 2023, and we reveal the theme of this year's 'Pass the Prose' mission - a poem that Craig and the listeners will write in the run-up to National Poetry Day, as part of 成人快手 Radio 6 Music's 'Way With Words'.
