Bedtime Stories for the End of the World is a podcast series which asks poets to re-imagine their favourite myths, fairytales and legends. The stories they want to seal up and protect against rising waters, from nuclear disaster, and from the mundane tragedy of human forgetfulness.

What kind of stories do we want to leave the future? How might they differ from the stories we’ve inherited?

The first two series have included new poems from writers including: Jay BernardMalika BookerInua EllamsAndrew McMillanSabrina MahfouzKei Miller and Joelle Taylor.
