Podcast 101 with poetry and unpoetic user agreements

 Remember one of last year's #WomensHistoryMonthPosts mentioning a poet well-known in some local circles and a poem about his wife and painting a table?


One of last year's posts


RantWoman is very excited to learn, after, by chance, putting the following string

William H Matchett Jack Straw

into the search engine of her choice that the entire reading with the poem about painting a table and another involving a gloriously facetiously translated "traffic jam" and other more serious poems is now available on a podcast.

RantWoman learned of this podcast channel too late at night even to want to open notoriously unpoetic user agreements. RantWoman also harbors the fantasy of being able both to listen and to read along in Braille; RantWoman has no opinion about the technological and copyright contortions that would be necessary to do that.


RantWoman means at some point to riff on modern libraries, people of different generations and their preferred modes of interacting with the world, and how finding someone one is already fond of can be such a lovely reward for putting up with the exasperations of needing to learn new ways to access content, but for right now RantWoman just wants to observe #WomensHistoryMonth.
