National Poetry Day!

OJ makes being awake fun as he celebrates National Poetry Day with Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There and the Dead Tired Poet Society.

OJ makes being awake fun as he celebrates National Poetry Day with Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There and the Dead Tired Poet Society.

Midnight Mastermind is the quiz where you ask the questions and test OJ on your own specialist subject. He never knows the subject beforehand and has just one song to revise before facing the questions.

Wish You Were There is your chance to soundtrack a story or situation that OJ will tell you all about. He wants your suggestions for the perfect song to capture that moment.

The Dead Tired Poets Society is where OJ invites members of the Midnight Massive to write in with poetry, all about working late into the dark hours.
