US health secretary, and prominent member of the Kennedy dynasty, Robert F Kennedy Jr has found himself, once again, thrust into the headlines. It’s alleged he penned a series of explicit poems to his supposed lover, journalist Olivia Nuzzi, who is around 40 years his junior. The salacious verses, which include toe-curling allusions to oral sex, were revealed by Nuzzi’s jilted former fiancé, journalist Ryan Lizza, in an article on his website. What’s happening in the fallout of this scandal? And how good is the poetry? Host: Fionnán Sheahan, Guest: Nikki McCann Ramirez See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
