Peter Goulding on the Radio

This week I'm very excited to be welcoming the first person I've ever met purely through the internet, onto the radio, Peter Goulding.
Peter blogs over here, and his poetry has long been a source of great entertainment and hilarity for me. He is a bus poet. He once snogged Dana, and has been onstage with the Boomtown Rats - but sadly hadn't told me that before we taped the show, so we won't be talking about that, we will be talking about many other things though... check him out

"Peter wrote song lyrics for the punk band he was part of many years ago, since taking up writing again in 1985 his writing has taken him to such diverse locations as the Shelbourne FC matchday programme, The Community Voice newspaper, and being poet in residence on the Creedon Show back when it had a daytime slot. His humorous verse has found homes in the shortlist of humorous verse section of the Strokestown festival's competition, was placed in the Kilkenny Swift Satire and Boyne Writers Swift competition and last year he was crowned Baffle Bard down in Loughrea, for which he won a stone turnip.
He published a book of mainly humorous verse in 2009 - A Flash of Orange - and two chapbooks this year.
More recently he has been published in Revival, Boyne Berries, Snakeskin, Southword and Crannog with some more serious poems. He was chosen for this year's Poetry Ireland Introductions series, recently won the Golden Pen competition and is generally pleased with how things are going with his writing." And why wouldn't he be...

He has chosen the themes of Rhyme and Timing to base the show around, and I can reveal there will be plenty of laughs and interesting insights along the way....
