You’re just a name on a list — and that list just sent you into the worst nuclear disaster in human history.Tonight, we follow your footsteps as a Chernobyl liquidator: drafted with no briefing, dressed in gear barely fit for gardening, and handed a dosimeter that might as well be a paperweight. You’ll clear radioactive graphite by hand. You’ll sleep in tents that reek of iodine and fear. You’ll be celebrated, then forgotten.This isn’t fiction. This happened. To thousands.And tonight, in quiet tones and slow unraveling horror, it’s happening to you.

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.
