Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Layla Ishmael. For the next few episodes on the podcast, we'll be looking back at the year 2024. The team at Intelligence Squared has selected 12 standout conversations from the year to share with you. Our second pick of the year is unreleased audio of an event we staged with singer-songwriter Marina Diamondis, or you might know her by her stage name, Marina.

She was live on stage to talk about her debut poetry collection, Eat the World. Joining her to discuss it was writer Sean Fei. Hi. Hi, welcome. Marina has only been in the UK a couple of days, back in the UK, and you're saying you were uh coping well with the jet lag, so hopefully.

I'm feeling very alive right now, so I'm feeling good. We're gonna just jump straight in to talk about this poetry collection. You know, you've been writing songs that we've been listening to for like, I mean, almost two decades, um, and you've written a poetry collection. I was wondering if you could just, very basic question, talk about how, you know, deciding to do this to sort of switch medium, how that came about. Um
