    I got a fright when reading this section this week. If Jewish people get mentioned in works this age it’s usually a bad thing, but I stuck with it and I felt it was quite respectful as the Empress of the Blazing World summons the spirits and asks them to teach her the ‘Jews Cabbalah’

    Ultimately they convince her this wouldn’t be authentic and the bring to her Margaret Cavendish, the author of the work, to help her as a scribe and they go on a journey of world creation, which is rather strange and confusing, but I’m sure this will help you sleep.

  • REPOST: Birds and their nests by Mary Howitt

    *Hey all, I’m super busy with a move so nothing fresh for you this week, for which I’m sorry, but I won’t leave you sleepless, so here’s this lovely introduction to Birds and Their Nests which has been popular with listeners

    Next week will probably also be a repost as I get settled in and wait for internet, but normal service should resume around mid-august*

    A detailed study of the methods of birds building their nests. Fall asleep while listening to the methods of wrens and chaffinches to construct their warm and comfy homes.

    Happy sleeping. 😊

  • A History of Art for Beginners and Students: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture

    As you get ready to sleep tonight, find yourself engrossed in the stories of some of the great Florentine master of renaissance art. We pick up the story of the great Leonardo Da Vinci and he moves from patron to patron.

    Then as you doze off in your bed we move on to the cranky Michealangelo who denied his families desires of going into the trades to follow the muse.

    Then we finish up with a few lesser known artists, but you will be well asleep before then.

  • The Republic by Plato

    Philosophy seems the ideal thing to listen to to help you sleep. I recorded this in the middle of the day and completely zoned out and nearly dozed off so I can barely tell you what the conversation between Socrates and his friends was about.

    So I’m confident that the discussion of whether God can create evil, whether children should learn from false fables and ummmm, other stuff will help sleep come for you as quickly as you’d hope.
