12. Naming Kitchen Tools After Your Fave Writers ft. Ying Chin

Angelic harp music opens a very special episode - Achim’s last as the host of Licensed Poetics. Ying, a dear friend of LP’s, is a spoken word poet and musician. She joins LP in the studio to discuss discovering your inner artist and activist, showing up for what’s beautiful, and naming your instruments (or in BFL’s case, her rolling pin) after your favourite artist.
