In the first of a few podcasts recorded in the Word "Lounge" at Latitude, Britain's premier poet Simon Armitage (far right) talks to Mark Ellen and David Hepworth about why Bob Dylan, although a Very Good Thing, is not actually a poet, the desirability of calling your band The Wheelie Bins, seeing the Bay City Rollers in Queens Hall, Leeds, what he thinks of Jim Morrison and why you can't just take one of his poems and set it to music. As a bonus on this podcast you get K.T. Tunstall talking about the challenges of playing festivals and answering audience questions about playing Anne Frank.

The podcast is available to podcast app users now and will be available via this website, through iTunes and other channels later today.
