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!

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 :)
