'Hitcher' - Who picked who up in Leeds?

This was the first ever podcast I made, so listen with kind ears; there's not even any music, it's that basic. Strange to think that it's four years old. Anyway, back to the poem.

The Hitcher is probably one of the first Simon Armitage poems that you've looked at in class. Here's a few ideas about the poem, and a few things to get you thinking about. After all, who is 'The Hitcher'? You may want to remind yourself about the id/ego, and try and remember what a 'divided self' is.
