Transcription: The Faber Poetry Podcast Season 3 (trailer)

Jack Underwood [singing]: Rachael, we're back here in the studio.

Rachael Allen [singing]: We're back for season three.

Rachael: And it's going to be a musical podcast now.

Jack: Everything's going to be sung. What the hell has been going on, though? It's been so long. We've had a pandemic. I don't know what else is happening. It's such a strange increment of time. It was a blur.

Rachael: I think it has been three years since we recorded a podcast.

Jack: Oh, my goodness.

Rachael: So it feels really special, actually very moving to be back talking to all these poets who have given us their time. And also to be able to be in person with them has been really nice.

Jack: Yeah. I feel that... I did that Instagram poetry thing in lockdown, and there was a furious activity around poetry in lockdown. I think people felt starved of the social aspects of poetry. But I want to forget about all that now. And I don't know, this seems a relief. And also coming out of lockdown, all that people talked about for the first six months was lockdown. So we're not going to do that. We're going to jump right back.

Rachael: We're marching forward into the future.

Jack: Marching with just brand new Faber shoes on, kicking some poems about.

Rachael: Kicking some poets about.

Jack: Lifting up some rock, putting our bogies on the fence post to demarcate our progress. That's what we're going to do. I've had coffee, you can tell.

Rachael: I've had three cups of tea.
