Kites | Can’t Sleep? Explore a Worldwide Flying Tradition
Notas do episódio
Kites have crossed borders, centuries, and cultures with little more than wind and a very long piece of string. This episode explores the history of kite flying, how kites stay in the air, and the many ways cultures around the world have turned them into tools, traditions, art, entertainment, and even instruments of war. Along the way, you’ll hear about their early origins, colorful festivals, different designs, scientific uses, and humanity’s remarkably persistent desire to send things into the sky while keeping them attached to the ground.
It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
