Hearth Fathers is a podcast where rural fathers are asked to reflect on their relationship with their home, land, and legacy.
In a fast world, Hearth Fathers is a slow and deliberate podcast; our conversations are not rushed but instead seek to glean wisdom about life from fathers who live in the country. Before you listen, consider pouring a drink, getting comfortable, and slowing down yourself.
Keep the fire burning.
Wally Chamberlain is a poet and father who is deeply concerned with the rural diaspora of New England youth. He wrote a viral poem, All the Ways you Can Stay, that serves as a counter argument to Dr. Suess’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! A warning: if you are a country kid like me, it is bound to make you cry.
He can be found on X, formerly known as twitter.
Episodes of Hearth Fathers are free and release on Saturday mornings.
