Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Podcast de Sharon Handy

Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake. Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect blend of vaguely-but-not-too interesting. If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.

episode Experimental Researches in Electricity, by Michael Faraday, Part 1 artwork
Experimental Researches in Electricity, by Michael Faraday, Part 1

Let’s attract sleep with these early experiments to master a fundamental element of modern life, electromagnetism. How do magnets create a charge? What is making that needle twitch? How did anyone ever figure this stuff out? Curiosity is a powerful force indeed. Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener supported!

episode The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith, Part 4 artwork
The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith, Part 4

Let’s purchase some peace with more from this foundational work of economics. This time, the fundamentals of supply and demand, the function of profit, and why monopolies are a pretty terrible idea unless you want to pay more for less.   Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener supported!

episode The Handbook on Cheese Making, by George E. Newell, Part 3 (Conclusion) artwork
The Handbook on Cheese Making, by George E. Newell, Part 3 (Conclusion)

Let’s sink into sleep with the final reading from this handy guide to making a very popular food indeed. This time, we hear maxims for the cheesemaker, are then immediately told to ignore maxims, learn how to box cheese neatly, and bewail the scandal that is low-fat, “skimmed” cheese. Testify!   Patreon Supporters, since we finished this book, as always, you will be getting all three readings stitched into a single recording for those nights when a long boring book is just the ticket for sleep.

Sailing Alone Around the World, by Captain Joshua Slocum, Part 3

Let’s sail to sleep with more from this remarkable journey around the world. This time, our author is chased by pirates! Also, we cross the doldrums, accidentally ground the ship on the coast of Brazil, and receive kind offers of assistance, which is very nice indeed. Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener supported!

Me suscribi con los 14 días de prueba para escuchar el Podcast de Misterios Cotidianos, pero al final me quedo mas tiempo porque hacia tiempo que no me reía tanto. Tiene Podcast muy buenos y la aplicación funciona bien.
App ligera, eficiente, encuentras rápido tus podcast favoritos. Diseño sencillo y bonito. me gustó.
contenidos frescos e inteligentes
La App va francamente bien y el precio me parece muy justo para pagar a gente que nos da horas y horas de contenido. Espero poder seguir usándola asiduamente.
