Join me for Part 1 of a series of episodes with the delightful talent that is, Drew Horner. AKA @talesofthenook on Instagram. Drew is an Actor, Spoken Word Artist, Voice Over Artist and Poet. Sit back, relax, grab your favourite tipple, or favourite squeeze to cuddle up with whilst Drew and I have a good waffle about what makes Drew, well Drew. Discover with us as we discuss the power and magic of poetry, and how wonderful it is to see so many varying genres and styles within the poetry community. The pick 'n' mix of poetry if you will. Penny sweets are not 5p! Drew is adamant on this! We marvel at the beauty of collaborations of poets within the community on Instagram. And..of course, I find out and ask the really important question. Who is Drew?! Well, it would appear, a star was born at the age of around 4 or 5 when Drew first trod the boards, where it would seem, the acting bug bit him. Drew tells me a little about the Drama school he attended, graced by the likes of Colin Firth and Tom Hardy. Oh, yes, I don't just have any old riff raff on the podcast you know!  Drew tells me how writing has helped him mentally, how writing brought him calm and balance amongst the chaos of COVID, and how poetry has helped with self discovery.  I also discover how the name for his account Tales of the Nook came to be, and believe it or not, how the name previously chosen was flagged as a terrorist organisation!!  Plus, Drew also tells me about the challenges of Dyslexia, men and poetry, and how important it is for men to embrace the creativity. In this first jam packed episode of my series of waffles with Drew, I sincerely hope you discover something to inspire you.
