Description

Turn off your brain by tuning into the past. This podcast explores the nooks and crannies of history that usually get skipped in class. It’s a gentle stream of information designed to wash away anxiety and replace it with heavy sleep.

No mid-episode ads — just one short ad at the very start, then slow, sleepy history all the way through.
