Delving deep into the minds of our favourite people's deepest obsessions, this week we're joined by the INCREDIBLE Arlo Parks. The London based singer-songwriter, and one of our personal fave artists of 2020, is talking to us all about The Beat Generation. From discovering their poetry at aged fifteen, to what the work taught her about her own craft, why we need to smash misconceptions around who poetry is for, and much more. Arlo will also be telling us how she sees subculture and collectivism in the modern age, why poetry isn't just for exam-board reading lists, and why the art form is due its next big pop-culture moment.

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.
