We believe that podcasts are important for poetry magazines. Poetry is something that thrives on conversation and gains much from being heard.

We are currently producing podcasts for the Scottish Poetry Library, and you may view these at their podcast page. You may also be interested in the podcasts we produced for the 2009 StAnza poetry festival. If you like the podcasts, please support the magazine by taking out a subscription.

Podcasts for the magazine are currently on hold, although we do have material for new editions that will forthcoming in the next few months.

Anon Podcast 2

In our second podcast, we were very glad to welcome Rob A Mackenzie and Andrew Philip to Anon HQ. They discuss their relationship to blogging, how they first got into publishing their poetry, their musings on the current state of poetry in Scotland and you'll get the opportunity to hear them both reading from their new collections, which are available from Salt Publishing. The music featured in this podcast is by the delightful Benedict Young.
