Latrogenic: caused by a doctor or medical professional. Fantods: There is an indescribable complaint, which will never allow a moment’s repose to mind or body; which nothing will satisfy—which allows of no beginning, and no ending—which wheels round the mind like a squirrel in its cage, ever moving, but still making no progress. Gyles' poem this week was ‘The Goldfish That Died’ by Gyles Brandreth (the shortest poem in the history of world literature, and features in the Guinness Book of World Records!) ‘O, Wet Pet’ A Sony Music Entertainment production.   Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts     To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.
