Over 750 000 stories of people offering help and support pouring into 大象传媒 Local Radio鈥檚 鈥楳ake A Difference鈥� service have inspired a powerful new collection of poems.
Each of the 39 大象传媒 Local Radio stations across England and the Channel has commissioned a poet in their area to write a poem inspired by these stories.
On this episode Becca speaks to Essex poet Maria Ferguson, Somerset poet Liv Torc, and poet and broadcast Ian MacMillan - who has written a national Make A Difference poem. With additional poems from Rowan McCabe and Mr Shay.
