Dr Embers Presents - The Selkie Tail - Sarah Turpin

Dr Embers on Location - The Magic Stone Stew (special)

Dr Embers has just moseyed in from the West... Tonight's tale follows a lone Texas Ranger and his faithful horse, Friday, as they ride into a town on the brink of its greatest trial. Faced with the gravest threat the townsfolk have ever known, the Ranger carries no rifle, no grand army... only an ordinary stone and a quiet confidence that it may yet save them all. How can a single stone stand against such a danger? Well, you'll have to gather around the campfire to find out. The Fire is Lit!

Dr Embers Presents - The Lay of the Black Toll Knight

"He who is feared by many must fear many." — Publilius Syrus Fear is ever present. No matter how big, brutal, or fearsome we may appear, we are all shaped by it. It warns us of danger, keeps us alive, and reminds us of our mortality. Yet left unchecked, it can become a prison of our own making. --------- Recently I was challenged to take a simple children's story and transform it into an Arthurian-style legend. The result is The Lay of the Black Toll Knight. Have I succeeded in turning a children's tale into a medieval legend? You tell me... So draw closer to the fire and join me for a tale of fear, power, wisdom, and the strange ways in which even the mightiest may be brought low. The Fire is Lit!

Dr Embers Presents - By the hearth 05

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." — Albert Einstein Tonight, we return to the hearth for a more personal conversation as contributor Gordon Banks shares the inspiration behind the poems he recently read for us and reflects on the importance of imagination, creativity, and simple fun. In a world that often prizes practicality and reason above all else, Gordon reminds us of the value of playfulness, wonder, and occasionally embracing the absurd. Together, we explore the enduring appeal of nonsense poetry, the freedom of the imagination, and why we should never entirely outgrow our sense of childlike curiosity. So pour yourself a favourite drink, settle into a comfortable chair, and join us by the fire for an evening of poetry, reflection, and imagination. Thank you for joining us around the hearth. Until next time, keep the fire burning. 🔥 The Fire is Lit!
