Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast will return for an 11th series. In this latest instalment, Frank once again delves into his favourite classic and contemporary poems, offering readings, insightful analysis, and thoughtful commentary on both familiar and lesser-known poets—week by week.

Originally launched in April 2020 to widespread critical acclaim, Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast quickly rose through the podcast charts regularly reaching the top spot nationwide and has maintained a dedicated following ever since. The upcoming six-part series will explore the work of poets past and present, including R.S. Thomas, Jack Clemo, Amy Clampitt, Rebecca Goss, Scott McKendry, and Greta Stoddart.

Speaking about the new series, Frank said, “Proud and excited to be putting out Series 11 of my poetry podcast. It includes a poem about scrap cars, a poem about a village swimming teacher, a poem about the Flintstones, and a poem about 3 tulips in a milk bottle. And they're all brilliant. There's another amazing poem that I recited in a church pulpit near Aberystwyth to sympathetic locals. You'll have to listen to find out why.”

In addition to the poetry podcast, Frank has had a busy year on the podcast scene. He recently launched a brand-new show, Frank Off The Radio, which sees him reunited with longtime collaborators: broadcaster and author Emily Dean and comedian-writer Pierre Novellie. The twice-weekly podcast, released every Monday and Friday, debuted on 11th October 2025 and swiftly hit No. 1 in the Comedy category.

Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast Series 11, produced by Avalon, will be available from Wednesday 23rd July.  Listeners can stream or download it on all major podcast platforms.
