There's A Poem In That
In this podcast, Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated poet Todd Boss helps strangers discover the poetry in their most intimate stories. Award-winning poet Todd Boss interviews strangers — listening deep into their stories — then risks writing an original poem just for them.
The relationship between NAPT and "There's A Poem In That" began in 2024 when Todd Boss brought his Pop-Up to our annual conference. Our community was delighted to meet Todd, learn about his work, and be interviewed for one of his poems!
You can listen to the TAPIT Podcast on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, and just about anywhere podcasts can be found! Each episode of TAPIT opens on a new guest stranger, tracks their conversations with Todd, and concludes with Todd's reveal of an original poem written expressly for them. You'll laugh, you'll cry ... You'll want a poem of your very own! You can learn more about Todd's podcast and work here --> There's A Poem In That
