Keith has a cold this week (cue the tiny violins), so the deep-dive history episode will have to wait. But don’t worry—he’s not leaving you empty-handed. Instead, he’s taking you on a thrilling poetic detour through eight of the most powerful poems ever written. Think of it as soul fuel for stormy days.

From the raw defiance of Invictus to the quiet thunder of The Road Not Taken, from the unstoppable fire of Still I Rise to the urgent rage of Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, this episode is a rollercoaster through rebellion, resilience, beauty, and grief. You’ll ride with The Charge of the Light Brigade, pause in awe before Ozymandias, and find calm in the timeless wisdom of Desiderata.

So brew something warm, settle in, and let Keith guide you through a whirlwind of words that have stirred hearts, shaken empires, and reminded us what it means to be human—even when your sinuses are completely blocked.

Poetry has never sounded this alive.
