    About Slam Idol
    Produced just outside London, this indie podcast features poetry from all around the World, and so far has included the UK, Ireland, Germany, USA, Australia, Canada, Singapore and Israel.
    The poems can be on subjects as diverse as politics and love to passion and loss, and can be funny or serious.
    We feature interviews with the poets, and the listeners vote for the winner.
