I love his voice, the cadence, the topics and the humor. It's interesting yet puts me to sleep. Obviously, quality work like this deserves to be compensated BUT he gives you so much less than other podcasters. A handful of free episodes and a few short snippets. It's not enough to have me hooked and committed to going through the convoluted process that it takes to buy access to the rest of the episodes. He's really good, but there's a lot of competition that is easier to access. I'm on the fence.

I am going through an extremely difficult time in my life. Sleep has been challenging and this podcast has helped me so much. Appreciate so much.

I have severe ADHD and that has i huge effect on my sleep and how my brain acts. The simplicity of the way you explain the subject makes it so that my brain will try to go faster but at the rate that im receiving the knowledge,(the speed of your communication) forces my brain and body to slow down enough to go to sleep. (Idk if that makes sense) THANK YOU.

By far one of the best bedtime podcasts. Great voice, great delivery, amazing facts and fun commentary. I try so hard to stay awake to hear it all that I doze off because, yes, it tames the brain squirrels. 🙏🏻

Love everything about this podcast, the creators delivery is fabulous, wonderful sense of humor very dry, the subjects are GREAT - and I watched the Gilligans Island pilot. Brilliant research. Will subscribe!

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 this on accident while searching for a story about Silk Road. I’ve spent considerable time searching for sleep story podcasts so it’s strange this one never came until I searched for something completely different. So happy to have found this. Please keep this available to those of us who cannot pay patreon and other fees. Really love the comedy thrown in, like the rephrasing of Rutledge’s Easter Island documentation. Just a quip here and there to make it your own. I truly appreciate what you do here. Thank you.

I stumbled upon this podcast by accident and was so taken by Harris’s voice, dry delivery, and silly humor. I’ve listen to every available episode a couple times and sometimes find myself fighting the sleep to finish listening because I’m enjoying it so much. Thanks, Harris! 💤💕

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 don’t feel like the aim is sleep. I feel like I’m just listening to an interesting and entertaining narrative. But it puts me to sleep without fail. So glad I discovered it!!

Pertinent and sleep inducing bits of history and interesting tidbits

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!

It’s a great way to learn about history while relaxing. Keep up the good work!

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 intrigued for what’s to come next

I really like this this podcast it is a very good podcast. I think that you should have episodes for every one not just the people that buy the thingy. And I also think that you should talk faster. You…..talk ….like……this. That is why I give it a 4 out of 5

Listened to my first episode last night and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to trying another episode tonight!

I really love history and this podcast helps me sleep. One critique I have is that I wish they would make some full series that are free to everyone because I fell like too many episodes are locked behind a paywall.

Thank you so much for these truly calming Calm History stories! Even amongst such a plethora, and I mean plethora of bedtime stories and soothing sleep meditation music podcasts available, I find sometimes this is the only podcast which can really calm me down and distract me from my racing thoughts to get me to nod off entirely, which is the goal right? I love your delivery style, the sound of your voice, and even your silly comedic, timing and humorous comments! You manage to deliver that even in a very low-key way that is not jarring – how perfect! And actually, were it not for the goal of sleep, the stories are truly quite interesting and educational. More more stories, please please! Thank you again, from the bottom of my REM sleep EYEBALLS!

I like the topics and it helps put me to sleep better than any other bedtime podcasts.

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

Love this podcast, it’s now my go to listen to fall asleep to. The narrator has such a calm & soothing voice, I find it instantly relaxing. Always asleep before an episode finishes.

I love them but you need to buy them to get them all, which I can’t afford

My only complaint is I wish there were more of them.

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 :)

I love the subjects and style of your delivery but the popping/snapping of your consonants into your microphone is very distracting.

Just found this podcast and I really enjoy it. It keeps me engaged enough to stop my thoughts from wandering but not so engaged that it keeps me awake wondering what will happen next. Harris has a nice calming voice.

Would love more full episodes and less “alerts” which take up too much space in the feed. Love the show and want more!

I can’t just fall asleep to anything - I need some sort of narrative or lecture like structure and this fits the bill perfectly. It’s interesting but also so relaxing and helpful to de stress and drift off.
Love this. Great idea - I’m a fan!

Great podcast! Where current history conveys such atrocities and struggle, this is an view of history that “connects historical dots” in pleasing, surprising ways. For example, try the “Rubber” episode!

Harrison reads in a calm and relaxing manner. I hope this podcast continues. Please make more!

I was skeptical that a ‘soothing voice’ podcast could help me fall asleep. I almost didn’t try Calm History because I love history and figured the subject matter might keep me awake but within 5 minutes on the first night I was OUT. Please make more!!
