About This Podcast

Welcome to the world of indie poetry with Alden Carrow! Every Wednesday, poet and independent creator Alden Carrow pulls back the curtain on the raw, real, and rewarding world of indie writing. Whether you're a fellow poet, an aspiring self-publisher, or simply someone who loves the written word, this is the show for you. Each episode dives deep into the highs and lows of the indie writing life — from the thrill of creative freedom to the grind of self-publishing, the art of building an online presence, and the ever-evolving question of when AI is your best friend… and when it's your worst enemy. But it's not all talk. Every episode features two poems: a Guest Poem from the community and a featured piece from Alden's own acclaimed collection, North Yorkshire In Verse — Moor To Shore In Poetry, bringing the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire landscape to life through verse. Want your favourite poem read on the show? Submit it to [email protected] and Alden will read it out — along with a personal shout-out to you — on a future episode.
