Dr Embers Verse and Tales
Dr Embers: Verse & Tale stories and poetry told by the fire.
Each week begins with a single thought — a line from a philosopher, poet, or thinker — and journeys through classic tales and original works that explore the themes shaping our lives.
Here, not all stories are told the same way.
Here, you are invited to sit by the fire.
Here, you may unwind and let your imagination wander to places you may never have been.
Ideas you may never have considered.
New episodes every Sunday.
The fire is lit.🔥
