Welcome to Boring History to Sleep — the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowed… it’s encouraged. Each episode takes you on a slow, uneventful stroll through the most yawn-worthy corners of the past: treaties nobody remembers, kings who ruled for three weeks, and revolutions that never really got started. Delivered in the softest, most sleep-inducing voice we could find, ... more

I used to listen to this regularly. I really like the content and found the voice relaxing. After noticing the AI-generated “artwork” and some strange pauses, tonation and cadence from the narrator, I looked up where the voice came from and learned it’s AI too. Such a shame…I’m sure there’s a real human out there who could use the work and could read with a voice that’s just even lovelier and more relaxing.
The loud advert is quite annoying, wakes me up
Quite poor overall. It meanders endlessly, circling the same points and rephrasing them without adding anything new. The AI-generated feel is obvious. It might work as background noise to fall asleep to, but if you actually care about the subject, it’s frustrating—there’s no sense that a real person put thought into it. Ultimately, it comes across as empty and meaningless.
Listening to the gilded age one and falling blissfully to sleep, to be woken suddenly by a loud, fast ad in the middle of the story. Please put the ads at the start!!! Defeats the whole purpose.
Very much enjoy this podcast. Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire
