Content Themes

Episodes often pair performances with relevant discussions, such as Aidan Clarke's spotlight on memory or Pauline May's exploration of familial relationships in her debut book Planets, Plants and the Taste of Salt.
A home for Sunderland’s hidden poets.
All right? In June 2025, we celebrated Pride month in glorious style.
This episode includes poems from the four feature sets that night, including On Being a Thing and Northern Lights by Scotters, Me, They, Them and My Sundered Land by Just Think Phil, What Do You Mean, Bill? and Tuesdays by Auburn Langley, and Esther’s Baby and Love Song For a Moderate by AJ McKenna.
Thanks to all of our fabulous featured poets, to everyone who celebrated Pride on the open mic with us, and to Pop Recs for giving us the run of the place again. Legends all.
Until next time, toodle-oo!
King Ink’s podcast is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman.
