You are property. Trained, adorned, observed, and forgotten — all within the velvet-draped cage of one of history’s most secretive and oppressive institutions.From the moment you're sold to the palace, to the slow erosion of your identity behind carved screens and scented corridors, this video traces the brutal, intimate realities of life inside the zenana. Based on real historical structures and court customs, this second-person narrative pulls you deep into the silk-lined claustrophobia of a world built to contain, control, and erase.

Om Podcasten

History For Sleep delivers slow, calm, and slightly unsettling historical storytelling that makes dozing off educationally depressing. Whether you're hearing about plagues, peasant life, or papal trials, it's all narrated at a soothing pace with a dry wit designed to lull you into unconsciousness. Brought to you by the Drowsy Historian, each episode is 1–2 hours of immersive bedtime history with just enough absurd detail to keep you listening — until you aren’t.
