    Charlie and Lee return in week 5 of UK coronavirus lockdown to share the poetry of Holly Pester and Emily Berry with each other and their faithful listeners. They discuss, amongst other things, William Shakespeare's birthday, whether poetry is best written in the shower and if you need to even try and understand the meaning of a poem (spoiler: the answer is no).
