Über den Podcast
Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly, ad-free, AI-free sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake. Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect balance of vaguely-but-not-too interesting. If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.

Let's sail the seas of sleep with more from this varied history of the oceans. This time, 18th century explorations of the Pacific, Arctic exploration going back to the 1500s, the ill-fated journey and many searches for Franklin's expedition on the Erebus and Terror, and the nautical history of the Resolute Desk, which has weathered some choppy seas indeed.

Let's sow a crop of sleep with more from this marvelous guide to running away to the country and remaking one's life on a farm. This time, canning makes tomatoes popular, railroads and science revolutionize agriculture, and our author extols the practical value of beautiful songbirds to the farmer. Facts!

Let's celebrate the spooky season (and our 8th anniversary!) and see what the cards say about sleep as we work our way through the symbolism of the Tarot. This time, the greater arcana, the many paths of the hermit, and a bit of sniping at other authors. But first, we divine our way through the veil of a most inscrutable preface. Mystifying indeed!

Let's relax with more from this rather questionable 17th century guide to medicinal plants. This time, herbs to rid yourself of fleas, cure gout, eliminate the French pox, and treat pretty much every ailment you can think of through the power of the purgative. Do not recommend!
VERY BIG NOTE: As always with these old "medicinal" works, do not follow or rely on anything you hear in this podcast. Many of these herbs are, in fact, very bad for you. This reading is merely to bore and/or amuse, not inform.

Let's saw some sleepy wood with more from this guide to getting crafty. This time, we finish fitting out our workshop with custom benches, cabinets and helpful devices, store our tools neatly, and eschew the useless dazzle of fancy toolchests. Efficiency, and the amateur's pocketbook, demand simplicity.
Lee Rosevere, composer of much of the background music on this podcast, has gifted us with a new work called "Timeless." So lovely! So chill! If you're interested in discovering more of his music (without me babbling over it), check out: https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com

Let's conclude our relaxing read from this wonderful guide to traveling and studying art in England, France, and Italy.
