In this edition of the Dogsthorpe School podcast, Eddie and Cap'n Dave talk to the author and poet, Paul Jenkins.
10 years of teaching, 7 poetry books and 1 novel have all perfectly prepared Paul for a life dedicated to educating kids through fun and creativity. He loves nothing more than taking his workshops from school to school, making smallish humans giggle for a day and giving them the confidence to work together to create their own brand new written pieces.
Whilst he's playful on stage he's serious in intent and is regularly called upon to write teaching resources and has worked with EmpathyLab, The National Literacy Trust, The Shakespeare Schools Festival and BBC Learning so you can rest assured there's a sensible head underneath the silly hat.
When not nurturing the seeds of creativity in young minds or writing new works he can be found elbow deep in popcorn watching movies with his sons or running like a maniac with Ramsbottom Running Club. He's also Poet in Residence at Springhill Hospice in Rochdale.
On Launchpad 156 we hear Paul talking about his books, his work and his vision plus he shares his poetry with us. So sit back, and enjoy the show.
