Kathryn Williams, Sinead Morrisey, Tom Jackson, Rowan McCabe and Sarah Sayeed.

The Verb is at the Free Thinking Festival. Joining Ian McMillan to examine 'The One' are Kathryn Williams, Sinead Morrissey, Tom Jackson, Rowan McCabe and Sarah Sayeed.

In the second of two programmes recorded at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival at Sage Gateshead, The Verb turns its attention to 'The One'.

Joining Ian are Tom Jackson, the curator of the hugely popular Twitter feed and now book 'Postcard from the Past', in which Tom finds poetry in our old holiday postcards. The poet Sinéad Morrissey has written a new poem especially for The Verb using language from Tom's extensive archive of postcards.

We feature new drama from Verb New Voice Sarah Sayeed, whose work 'My Heroes are Behind Me' celebrates extraordinary women, there's new poetry from the Newcastle-based poet Rowan McCabe who asks what destiny means in 2018 and there's also music from Kathryn Williams. 

Presenter: Ian McMillan
Producer: Cecile Wright.
