Welcome to the index for Classic Poetry Aloud, a podcast series for some of the greatest poetry in English.
The growing catalogue currently includes over two hours of recordings. Search by poet, by theme, or by using the search box to the right.
These free readings (over 200 poems, by over 80 poets) would fill two CDs, and many more are planned. Click here for today’s reading, or subscribe at iTunes.
On 15th May, Classic Poetry Aloud celebrates one year of poetry podcasting!
To mark the occasion, in the days before 15th May we will be repeating some of the most popular poetry of the past year. We will also be inviting you to donate to Classic Poetry Aloud to keep the service operating for another year.
How much are the readings worth to you? As much as your morning cup of coffee? Maybe not. As much as one cup of coffee a month? Possibly. Whatever you think the service is worth to you, a donation in recognition would be very welcome.
We hope you enjoy listening to Classic Poetry Aloud - for this year, and for always!
