Just remembrance.Thank you for watching, for listening, and most of all, for remembering.#MiddlePassage #HistoryForSleep #SlaveShip #TransatlanticSlaveTrade #QuietHistory #DarkHistory #SleepNarrative #EmotionalHistory #DrowsyHistorian #NeverForget

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.
