Bespoken Word, Radio 4's performance poetry series, this week features one of the most unusual performance poets on the scene: Metis - rapper by night, international banker by day.

His topics are 'conscious rap' and include attacks on racism, attacks on the selfishness of money, self-realisation and the values of the young, but also include a lot of light/humourous/romance material.

Also on the bill are former winner of the Radio 4 Slam Competition, Ben Mellor; and distinguished bard Alfred Lord Telecom.
