	I'm Barrie McDermid. It's my site and I'm the guy that puts everything together. I'm an English Teacher at a School in East Durham. Basically I'm reading everything unless it's one of the guys below...
	This is Chris Graham. Chris works with me as the Second in Department. Chris has quite a few years teaching under his belt and is reading the Seamus Heaney explanations.
	Bob Cuthbertson is our boss. Basically if you live in the our catchment area and are under current pensionable age you will most likely have been taught by Mr. Cuthbertson! He's the chap we can thank for the Pre 1914 podcasts.
	Angela McDermid (my good lady wife) is Deputy Head at a Primary School in Gateshead. Angela kindly had her arm twisted to read the Gillian Clarke poems and now probably knows more about them than the rest of us!
	James "Seamus" Doran is a Solicitor for a law firm in South Shields and an all round lover of poetry. Seamus kindly agreed to read the Heaney poems for us.
	Darren McBain is our resident AST for English and Media, and happens to prefer teaching the Duffy and Armitage poetry. Darren is reaing the Simon Armitage poems and his year 11 GCSE class helped him out with ideas for the sound effects, so a special thanks to them!
