    Poetry Playlist
    What a great concept!! Poetry playlist - no into, no commentary, no title or poets’s name - just experience the poems as is - no preconceptions. Love it! (Title and poet’s names are provided at the end).

    Every episode a delight
    This is a fantastic concept for a podcast, and it is incredibly well executed. I’ve been introduced to great poems, and hearing why each interesting person has chosen the poem offers meaningful context. A true joy every time I see a new episode.

    Endless Pleasure
    This podcast provided endless pleasure and joy. The daily small snippets of poetry while I walk inform my writing, thinking, and teaching. I also really appreciate hearing a variety of folx share poems important to them and explain how they “read” and apply these poems to their lives. Make more please.

    Lovely Podcast
    This is a lovely podcast! I love the structure of hearing the poems, then hearing how the reader undestands it. Such a great way to enjoy poetry

    Background music
    Background music too distracting and loud. Leave it out.

    An Amazing and Inspiring Production

    I have only listened to a few episodes so far, but I know this is a podcast I’ve been waiting for: inspiring, enlightening, always of value. My new Sunday morning habit as it fills my spirit.

    The Moth's Poetry Baby
    This podcast feels to me like NPR's The Moth and the poetry genre had a baby. Love the mix of true life stories and raw, quick-written poetry. As a poet and podcast junkie, Interesting People Reading Poetry is one of my favorite podcasts!

    Poetry and more
    I happened upon this podcast while looking for poetry, and after listening to several other poetry podcasts, I keep coming back to this one. I really like the format of poem + commentary + poem again. It helps me appreciate the poetry more deeply. The guests and their choices are deftly curated. Looking forward to the next season.

    A breath.
    IPRP feels like a deep inhale, a porch sit, a late-night conversation with a long-time loved one. It's well-produced, but beyond that, the subject matter is both fascinating and important. Plus, I'm really into the hybrid "interview / poetry reading" format. Listen.
