Incredibly interesting, and yet incredibly boring, at the same time. He clearly puts a lot of effort into his work and I appreciate it. I’m someone who only sleeps a few hours a day and this is the only thing that actually helps me fall asleep. As a someone who loves history I could not recommend this channel more. Also, his voice is extremely meditative. Heard about it on another podcast and I’m so glad I found it.

There simply isn’t writing off this quality to be found very often any more. This podcast is like soft velvet enveloping the listener in rich tapestry of thought and nuance that calms precisely because it engages my mind, bringing all the wayward frayed threads together and wrapping all those wandering thoughts up into yarn to be worked into the picture.
I always rewind and re-listen to any parts I slept through (and some that I didn’t sleep through but just enjoyed)

I used to have a fear of waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. Then I found Boring History for sleep.
The narrator has such a comforting voice. Every time I listen to one of his stories, I want to stay awake to hear the end but it actually rocks me to sleep in a very short time.
This is the best sleeping podcast I've ever heard and believe me, I've tried a lot.
Boring history for sleep has been a huge blessing.
Thank you, dear, sir.

Semi-insomniac here. I can never shut off my mind. I stumbled across this podcast and it does it for me. It’s soothing, interesting enough not to actually bore me, but I easily fall asleep, waking later to a completely different story from what I started with but that’s fine. Good work.

I listened to the latest show last night and found the show almost too interesting, but that was ok. What was not ok are the LOUD ads randomly inserted. Literally jarred me awake, which ruins it.

I was looking for something to listen to to help me fall asleep. I wanted something just barely interesting enough and monotonic to help me distract myself to sleep. But now it is entirely ruined by obnoxious and loud ads. Despite describing itself as ad free.
