About this listen

 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, this show is like warm milk with a side of ancient trivia. Perfect for insomniacs, history nerds, and anyone who thinks a Roman tax policy discussion sounds like a lullaby. Lay back, close your eyesVelvet Science Social Sciences

The reader’s voice doesnt sound natural. It’s a very lofty, phony tone - like a theater kid performing more than someone telling a story. It sounds like the reader is making their voice deeper than it actually is and reading way too slow for effect. Overall the content is okay but the performance is unnatural and distracting.
