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.🔥
Dr Embers Verse and Tales
Dr Embers presents: Invictus by William E. Henley and Other Poems
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“If you let one ant stand up to us, they all stand up to us.”
Tyranny does not rise with banners or chants — it rises quietly, through silence.
In this episode of By the Hearth, I bring three poems to life:
Invictus, No Land of the Free, and Five Men in a Boat —
exploring power, voice, fear, and the cost of not silence.
This is a spoken word poetry episode about:
silence in society, personal resilience, freedom, moral courage, and what happens when we stop questioning the stories we are told.
A reflective, emotional podcast for anyone who feels the world is getting louder —
Come sit by the fire. Listen closely.
And ask yourself: who will speak when it’s your turn?
