In light of our current series on mistakes, we're sharing an episode from <a href="https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/cautionary-tales">Cautionary Tales</a>&mdash;a podcast that&rsquo;s all about mistakes and what we can learn from them. This story is about a poet&mdash;some say the worst poet in the world&ndash;William McGonagall. McGonagall's works were full of jarring meter, banal imagery, and awkward rhymes. They made him a laughing stock in 19th Century Scotland and are still derided to this day. What can we learn from such a disastrous poet? And it is possible we&rsquo;ve misunderstood McGonagall all along?&nbsp;&nbsp; We'll be back with a new mistake next week.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
