Calm History - true bedtime stories & trivia for relaxing or sleeping. - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is a sleep podcast. It’s not one that you’d listen to while exercising or engaging in heavy gym activities or driving. It’s a calm and soothing ride, as the title of the show states. It’s fun and I rarely make it to the end of an episode because I’m usually asleep. My only complaint is I wish there were more full episodes and not the sample episodes. That being said, I still really enjoy the content that is made available at no charge/without subscription.

Thank you so much for these truly calming Calm History stories! Even amongst such a plethora, and I mean plethora of bedtime stories and soothing sleep meditation music podcasts available, I find sometimes this is the only podcast which can really calm me down and distract me from my racing thoughts to get me to nod off entirely, which is the goal right? I love your delivery style, the sound of your voice, and even your silly comedic, timing and humorous comments! You manage to deliver that even in a very low-key way that is not jarring – how perfect! And actually, were it not for the goal of sleep, the stories are truly quite interesting and educational. More more stories, please please! Thank you again, from the bottom of my REM sleep EYEBALLS!

I find other sleep podcasts too fast to lull me to sleep. The pace is perfect, the narrator’s voice is deep, and the stories are just interesting enough to quiet the mind but won’t keep you up intrigued for what’s to come next

Calm history somehow holds my interest and puts me to sleep at the same time. I’ve listened to a gazillion sleep inducing podcasts. Some are good, some are just annoying. But with Calm History, I don’t feel like the aim is sleep. I feel like I’m just listening to an interesting and entertaining narrative. But it puts me to sleep without fail. So glad I discovered it!!
