The Birmingham Literature Festival Podcast - Welcome to the very first Birmingham Literature Festival podcast, bringing writers and readers together to discuss some of 2020’s best books. Each Thursday we’ll be releasing new episodes of the podcast, including wonderful discussions about writing, poetry, big ideas and social issues. Join us each week for exciting and inspiring conversations with new, and familiar, writers from the Midlands and beyond.

episode 1: Michael Rosen
This week’s guest is one of few who – universally – get referred to as a “National Treasure”. Michael
Rosen has written over 70 books, including many of the most-read and most-loved children’s books
of the modern day. He’s also a poet and memoirist, and joined us to talk about his book Many
Different Kinds of Love, written as a result of his time on an intensive care ward during the Covid-19
pandemic in Spring 2020.
You can download our podcast episodes from all the places you would normally get your podcasts every Thursday and follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @bhamlitfest. All of our festival events can be found on our website www.birminghamliteraturefestival.org.
