There is a similar podcast, "Boring Books for Bedtime": https://www.boringbookspod.com/episodes.

The problem with that podcast is that most of their selections are genuinely interesting - I even listened to them on long drives (e.g. "Origin of Species"). Even something I thought would boring like or "Farm Engines and how to Run" them turned out to be fascinating.

This one, on the other hand, seems to be genuinely boring. I couldn't get past the intro.

The Sleep With Me Podcast is very good. It helped my wife when she had a period of insomnia.

He has a number of tricks he uses from a monoto delivery, to meandering stories where the narrative constantly interrupts itself with. So you can’t really “follow along”.

A similar one I recently discovered is https://www.youtube.com/@SleepOnPhysics. I think it was meant to put you to sleep with the detailed narrative, but I found it to be very interesting and captivating, especially for long drives. The content quality is pretty good, I am almost certain the audio is AI generated, but wonder how the content itself was authored.
