Soothing Lectures

[14kepling]

I don't know whats with these types of videos, but it is just so soothing to me. Sitting back playing some cards while listening to this has become a favorite pastime. Trouble is, I can't find anything like it no matter how hard I look. Sure, there are other lectures but not the type I can sit down and listen to. Does anyone have any others like it?

There's the History of Rome podcast. I find Mike Duncan's voice smooth and relaxing, though the quality is bad in the first 10-25 episodes.

I often go to sleep listening to the BBC Radio series 'In Our Time'. This might not seem like the best recommendation, but I don't necessarily mean that it sends you to sleep.

The format is a panel of 3 or 4 academics with the host Melvyn Bragg, discussing just about everything. I have hundreds of these podcasts downloaded - and some of them I've probably listened to 10 - 12 times.

Not sure if it's available everywhere in the world, but this is the link to the History archive ...

You can navigate from here to other categories, like Science, Culture and Philosophy.

not sure, if this qualifies as ASMR, but if you don't know it, you might take a "look" (ear) to it. There are a lot of great asmr youtubers out there.

Melvyn does sometimes get incredibly irate at his guests though, which does somewhat diminish its soporific qualities.

It's true that I do sometimes get woken up again if things get contentious.

I have my old lecture notes on control engineering which reliably put me to sleep within minutes.
