Actor and musician Johnny Flynn (Stardust, Netflix&#39; Lovesick) joins me to talk about his spark, William Butler Yates’ poem The Song Of Wandering Aengus.   We dive into Johnny’s personal connection to the poem, which stems from a variety of sources, including seeing his friend Jez Butterworth’s play The River which opens with this poem and his childhood wanderings through the natural world.
