The Poetry Podcast
About the Show
Escape into the immersive, dreamlike world of poetry.
What is The Poetry Podcast?
Welcome to The Poetry Podcast: a storytelling podcast that immerses the listener into the worlds of famous (& obscure) poetry & short prose.
Hosted by freelance artist, educator & Rotary Scholar, Jessica Munna, this podcast was created to encourage young listeners to engage with a world outside of themselves, to feel inspired by art, and to learn about different cultures & the power of the written world to connect us all.
The goal of the podcast is give young listeners the opportunity to take a brief pause in their day to enjoy beauty. It also is an attempt to make poetry & certain literature more accessible.
The Poetry Podcast is currently free to listen to and advertisement-free. The show is supported by listeners like you via Ko-Fi (and whatever money Jessica has in her bank account).
You can support the show by making a Ko-Fi donation, rating the show with 5 ★, or get a Spotify subscription.
Is The Poetry Podcast for kids?
The Poetry Podcast was intentionally created for all ages to enjoy. Some episodes are specifically curated for children. And since each episode is a stand-alone piece, parents can pick and choose which episodes they feel is appropriate to share with their children.
Over 40% of our listenership is age 22 and younger and over 60% is 27 and younger. As an artist and passionate arts educator, it has become Jessica’s goal to create a safe space for this youthful demographic.
Part of the mission of The Poetry Podcast is to be an advocate for arts education. A long term goal is to make companion educational PDF packs to encourage audience members to read along with the episode & to celebrate enjoyment of literature & poetry in young people.
Release Schedule
Individual episodes are released monthly, based on Jessica’s availability and, in future, will hopefully be released twice per month.
