We're offering something a little different in this week's (very) delayed episode of the PerthshireHour podcast as we point the spotlight at the wealth of poets working in and around the Perthshire area.

We have a huge collection of poems, read by their creators. Each poem has a special link to the Perthshire area, depicting favourite places, stories, and more.

In this episode, you'll hear the work of Jim Mackintosh, Jennie Turnbull, Andy Jackson, Alice Walsh, Lydia Robb, Patricia Ace, Beth McDonough, Dawn Wood, George T Watt, Hazel B Cameron, Jane Picton-Smith, Karen Macfarlane, and Morag Anderson.

Thanks go out to all of these poets for taking the time to record and submit their reading, it's greatly appreciated.

Apologies to regular listeners for the delay on getting this episode out into the world. A collection of technical and other difficulties caused a couple of unavoidable delays. We should be back to our regular program next Wednesday (5th April).

Hope you enjoy the episode, and as always, thanks for listening
