History For Sleep delivers slow, calm, and slightly unsettling historical storytelling that makes dozing off educationally depressing.
Brought to you by the Drowsy Historian, each episode is 1–2 hours of immersive bedtime history with just enough absurd detail to keep you listening — until you aren’t.
