About this listen

Great poetry should be read aloud, that's where 'A Voice Like This' comes in; a weekly show where one or two poems are read without analysis or lectures. A little space each week for 5 - 10 minutes of calm and chill. Take a little time out of your day for this aural hug with award winning voice actor Phil Rowe. New shows are posted every Monday, and keep an eye out for the odd bonus episode, too!Copyright 2025 Phil Rowe

    Welcome to the first episode of A Voice Like This — a podcast where I read poetry aloud, not to explain it, but to let it breathe.

    In this opening episode, I begin with a pairing that moves from gentleness to something far more fierce: the quiet resilience of Emily Dickinson, followed by the fiery awe of William Blake.


    In this episode:

    • Why Hope still sings in the storm
    • A note on the archaic pronunciation of symmetry
    • What happens when a poem doesn't give you answers — only wonder

    New episodes every Monday, with the occasional bonus when the mood strikes.


    Follow A Voice Like This on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you like to listen — and if something here speaks to you, I’d love it if you shared it with someone who might enjoy a quiet moment of poetry in their day.

    Coming on Monday 7th July, a brand new podcast

    'A Voice Like This'

    Sometimes, the right words — spoken aloud — can land in a way the page alone never quite manages.

    I’m Phil Rowe, and this is A Voice Like This — a podcast for people who still believe that good poetry is meant to be spoken.

    I’ve spent years working as a voice actor, but I began as a singer — and I’ve always believed that language carries its own kind of music. This show brings together some of my favourite poems — old, timeless, and beautifully crafted — read aloud, with care.

    Every Monday, I'll release a short episode — usually just a few minutes long — featuring one or two carefully chosen poems, a little context, and space to let them breathe.

    It’s not academic. It’s not analytical. Just a quiet corner of your week for language that stirs something.

    You’ll find A Voice Like This wherever you get your podcasts — on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, or through your favourite app.

    And if you’d like a moment of stillness, rhythm, or reflection… I hope you’ll join me.
