  • Organize it more!!!!

    I think it would be better if you put in not just random episodes but like kind of like a series so that it’s like sections and not just like this is about Greeks then the next episode is about sharks or something but it’s a really good podcast👌

  • Fall asleep every time

    Now i don’t know if that’s a good thing. But i fall asleep before the end of each episode. It is incredibly interesting, but so calming! To be fair i only listen before bed. If I listened during the day, im sure i would enter a calm state without sleeping. I highly recommend this podcast!!!

  • Awesome app!

    Funny, calming, and surprisingly educational!

    I love Calm History—it’s the perfect mix of humor, storytelling, and relaxation. The host’s voice is soothing, and I actually learn new things while winding down for the night. It’s become my favorite way to fall asleep feeling peaceful and a little smarter!

*Sample* | Pirates: The Truth about Eye Patches, Earrings, Parrots, Peg Legs, Hook Hands, Rum, & “Shiver Me Timbers!” | Relax & Sleep with History (Bonus Episode #71)
Q: Did pirates wear an eye patch?
Pirates mainly wore eye patches to cover eye injuries, although there is no historical proof that they wore them over a healthy eye for night vision; this idea mainly comes from modern portrayals.
