  • Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions - Fallout of the South Sea Bubble

    This week we return to the bizarre economic bubble that rose up around the opening of the South Sea trade, based on fraudulent claims of treaties and access it was ultimately a method for some people to get very rich, then very poor.

    And while it reflects modern society in many was as people still fall for scams, it’s not so infuriating that it will keep you awake as you try drift off to sleep.

  • The Elements of Geology by William Harmon Norton 07

    This geological work is popular with the listeners as the life of rivers and rocks is the idea background for a sleepy night.

    Listen in as the role of rivers in erosion and geology gets expanded on, we learn more than we ever need to know about glaciers, and find ourselves drifting to the sea, fast asleep.

  • The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World by Duchess Margaret Cavendish

    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.

  • 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.

  • The ethics of rhetoric by Richard M. Weaver

    Ever wondered about the differences between rhetoric and dialectic? Or the moral obligations of the rhetorician? Probably not, and I’m not sure if you will learn anything here because this is truly the most boring thing to read to you at bed time.

    I make very few guarantees, but this *will* help you sleep.

  • A Series of Letters to Help You Sleep

    Elizabeth Montagu was a power player in politics and women’s suffrage later in life, and her earlier letters are a fascinating insight into the precocious mind and attitudes of a woman of her day.

    But if like me the appeal of gossip is limited, I’m sure this will help you fall asleep.

  • The Dark Ages, 476-918 by Charles Oman – The Eastern Emperors

    This week’s sleepy episode sees us return to the ‘dark ages.’ When the mighty Roman Empire split in half the western half, the part actually based in Italy, was ruled by a succession of barbarian kings.

    But in the East, based in Constantinople, the empire was ruled by a number of Emperors who considered themselves Roman and had a period of relative peace.

    While you lie and wait for sleep to come, let me tell you about them.

  • The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories by Lord Dunsany – The Fall of Babbelkund

    Lord Dunsany can be relied on for something whimsical and mystical, and this week’s reading of The Fall of Babbelkund, an ancient and wondrous city. As you try to doze off the protagonist meets several people telling of the wonders and mysteries of the city carved from a mountain.

    Will you still be awake when they meet the prophet going to spell doom to Babbelkund?

    Maybe, but you will probably be sleeping when the protagonist gets to where they’re going, only to find the whole city gone.
