Alice has a staggering number of gifts: she is a compelling storyteller, an astute analyst, a compassionate interviewer, an immersive documentarian. More than this though, she possesses the unique gift of being Alice: one of the kindest and most charming people you will ever get to know through the media of your headphones or car stereo. If you want a first class companion through the Australian bush of poetry, you cannot possibly do any better than Poetry Says.

Alice Allan is by far the most genuinely kind podcast host I have heard. She also happens to have one of the only poetry podcasts worth listening to every week. You’ll love both her excellent, in-depth interviews and her more personal, experimental, musing episodes.

If there existed such a genre as ASMR poetry criticism, Alice Allan would be its reigning queen. Poetry Says is soothing, stimulating, and an all-around pleasure to listen to.
