I appreciate that there aren’t background noises or music. It’s perfectly timed speech with a quiet voice. This could be a master class for those many failed and subpar “sleep” story casters. Found th...

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 d...

I love the kind of emotional intelligence I hear behind every episode. It stimulates and calms my poor mind that has felt too much but doesn't know any other way to be alive!

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 intrigu...

The creator and or narrator gives a great history lesson and in a sleepy narrative. The pacing is perfect.

The history lessons are interesting enough to keep my attention but delivered so calmly, not too stimulating. My brain engages just enough allowing sleep to happen.

I love this series. What a brilliant way to relax - while learning something new. The trouble is I keep falling asleep before the end of the episodes so have to listen time and again :)
