EP21: Catherine Cohen

Early Work with Rhys James - A podcast by Rhys James

Categories:

Early Work is back for a new series, and the work is even EARLIER than before. We kick off with our first American guest, the inimitable comedian and poet Catherine Cohen, who kindly Skyped into the podcast from a porn set at 9am. One of the most equipped Early Work guests of all time as she brings a hench 60 page word document full of angsty teenage poetry, which is not so much 'up Rhys's street' as 'living in Rhys's loft'. There’s also a song written in the bath she was convinced would be chart-topping, a perfect voice for British advertising and the results of what happens if you put your entire body of early work through an algorithm that writes your next poem for you. Plus, Rhys shares a plagiarised poetry idea and one of the most excruciating heartbreak stories he can muster. We're back.
