About the podcast

If you're a fan of Warhammer 40k lore and you're a fan of sleeping. Then this podcast is just for you. The deep dives into the universe of Warhammer are spoken here in a more quiet and calming tone, played to the background ambience of thunderstorms, bonfires or the ambience of deep space. In the grim darkness of the far future, it doesn't get more cozy than this. (This podcast is explicitly created and recorded by a real human person and not an AI)
