How Did “I Hate Poetry” Start?
It all started when Dylan cracked a few jokes about a poem Charlie had written; little did they know then the seeds had been sown. A few months later, Dylan came to Charlie with one of his hair-brained schemes asking if he’d be interested in starting a podcast together. When Charlie suggested poetry as a potential subject; Dylan sighed and rolled his eyes. How about something a bit more interesting mate? Charlie fired back – How about we create a podcast where I prove to you that poetry can be interesting and fun? Somewhat skeptically the challenge was accepted and I Hate Poetry was born!
