Nols Nathankski sits down for a proper brew with Rick McLean aka @MaccathePoet to talk about anti-racism at the Open Mic and how to piss off flag shaggers on tiktok, a Leeds-born, London-lost ranter who sees the world through a lens of dry wit, frustration, and the occasional moment of nostalgia.
If you like a bit of John Cooper Clark, a strong cuppa, shit loads of vinegar on your chippy tea, raw honesty, lots of swearing and complaining about everything, you’ll probably like this too.
They make a poem from The Poetry Fruit Machine out now on Rough Trade Books and then do poem swap taking inspiration from Switched Up poetry in Manchester.
