We've got Dean Atta, Reece Lyons, Kareem Parkins Brown and Bayan Goudarzpour. I’ll also be dropping a little poem in.

This is a little bonus episode featuring a short interview I did with Oberon White, a queer, Welsh cabaret performance artist.
You might have already listened to episode 11 which features a poem / soundscape by Oberon. Its an excerpt from their show winegod. If you haven’t listened to that yet I urge you to.
In this bonus episode Oberon and I chat in more detail about winegod, a show that explored queer icons and took inspiration from mythology.

"What is queer time? What is queer space?" Oberon White.
This episode I offer you something from another artist, a piece called 'Prophylaxis' by Oberon White, a performance artist who is a regular fixture on London's queer underground cabaret scene.
The excerpt you're about to hear is from Oberon's show winegod, which traced the ancientness of queer identity and grappled with the erasure of queer history.

Today’s show is all about the bizarre, embarrassing, inexplicable notes that I’ve found in my phone and in various notebooks.
I’m not talking about long chunks of prose or deep excerpts from a diary or journal. I’m talking about random words and sentences that are just on their own, in the middle of a blank page.
Ideas or phrases I’ve written to myself but that have absolutely no context, like I’m supposed to know exactly what I meant when I wrote it down.Do you do this? Please let me know I’m not the only one.
Its short and sweet episode, I hope enjoy.

It's a weird one this week, a proper weird one in which I tell you about 29 of my deeply strange dreams.
Like the time I dreamt that Mel Gibson was trying to play Super Mario with me in a windowless room, or when I dreamt that I gave birth to a baby made of paperclips. Buckle up babes, its wild.

"The Last Poets are the birthplace of rap" (Chuck D).
The Last Poets were founded in Harlem on May 19th 1968 - Malcolm X's Birthday. They've influenced everyone from Erykah Badu to Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan and countless others.
In this episode of Cassette Tape Radio I chat with Abiodun Oyewole, one of the founding members of The Last Poets; one of the fathers of hip hop. We talk about how The Last Poets turned up the volume on poetry, transforming it from a whisper to a war cry.

A tongue-twisting, thigh-slapping, tear-jerking poetry-cabaret show featuring poets and performers Zia Ahmed, Lisa Luxx, Jackie Hagan, Cheryl Dole, Amina Jama, The Repeat Beat Poet and of course me - Talia Randall.
Most of today's episode was recorded live at my poetry knees-up What Words Are Ours?
Today's partner is Free Word Centre in London. The venue and I were due to collaborate on my show What Words Are Ours? a night that showcases D/deaf and hearing artists on the same stage. Like so many other live shows, it was cancelled due to Covid-19. So instead Free Word Centre commissioned me reimagine What Words Are Ours? for their new digital season called Finding Power in Isolation.
Along with this podcast episode I'll be bringing you Visual Vernacular and BSL interpreted poetry videos in the coming weeks and months. This is all part of us trying to keep What Words Are Ours? alive during the pandemic. Support the show by listening, watching, subscribing sharing with your pals and leaving us a lush review!
