Who Art Thou?

Episode 92: The Vagabond Queen

Season 5, Ep. 29

For this latest episode of the 'Who Art Thou?' podcast I will be chatting to the incredible talent that is The Vagabond Queen.

The Vagabond Queen is a Spoken Word Artist, Noir writer and Poet who puts on a truly unique and captivating performance when you see her live.

She is also the curator for The Queen's Cauldron, a night that showcases some of the top talent we have in Ireland at the moment, displaying a wide variety in styles and genre.

We'll be chatting about where The Vagabond Queen's interest began in spoken word poetry, first time performances, her trip to Paris, her visual poetry video titled 'Le Monde N'existe Pas' and many other stories.

She was a fantastic guest, I really loved every second of recording this episode so I hope you do too!
