    Excellent asmr sleepy in-depth history stories
    Pertinent and sleep inducing bits of history and interesting tidbits
  • Kitty4040
    Thank You!
    I love the kind of emotional intelligence I hear behind every episode. It stimulates and calms my poor mind that has felt too much but doesn't know any other way to be alive!
  • Yukimynaguchi
    Slow and soothing
    I find other sleep podcasts too fast to lull me to sleep. The pace is perfect, the narrator’s voice is deep, and the stories are just interesting enough to quiet the mind but won’t keep you up intrigued for what’s to come next
  • domino do gab he dvj
    Hehehmomstalker
    I really like this this podcast it is a very good podcast. I think that you should have episodes for every one not just the people that buy the thingy. And I also think that you should talk faster. You…..talk ….like……this. That is why I give it a 4 out of 5
  • JudeDaDude01
    History
    I really love history and this podcast helps me sleep. One critique I have is that I wish they would make some full series that are free to everyone because I fell like too many episodes are locked behind a paywall.
  • gffgfr5wsvfhnujkjydcddew5g7
    This is horrible
    I wanted a podcast that would not have me looking and reading for hours just to find the first part to a series and he starts two are more at once can can’t find anything on this podcast page
  • SpecialEars
    Well Done and Thank You!
    Thank you so much for these truly calming Calm History stories! Even amongst such a plethora, and I mean plethora of bedtime stories and soothing sleep meditation music podcasts available, I find sometimes this is the only podcast which can really calm me down and distract me from my racing thoughts to get me to nod off entirely, which is the goal right? I love your delivery style, the sound of your voice, and even your silly comedic, timing and humorous comments! You manage to deliver that even in a very low-key way that is not jarring – how perfect! And actually, were it not for the goal of sleep, the stories are truly quite interesting and educational. More more stories, please please! Thank you again, from the bottom of my REM sleep EYEBALLS!
  • bunnydelamuerte
    This helps me sleep
    This is a sleep podcast. It’s not one that you’d listen to while exercising or engaging in heavy gym activities or driving. It’s a calm and soothing ride, as the title of the show states. It’s fun and I rarely make it to the end of an episode because I’m usually asleep. My only complaint is I wish there were more full episodes and not the sample episodes. That being said, I still really enjoy the content that is made available at no charge/without subscription.
  • suznbubb
    FINALLY! A calm INTERESTING story for sleep
    LOVE THIS. The other sleep stories are so dumb. This is absolutely perfect. Interesting and soothing. Actually looking forward to going to bed tonight which I normally dread. THANK YOU
  • hdmebdk
    Very good
    I can’t get through an episode without falling asleep!
  • NeedSleepinCT
    Calm History
    I really love this podcast! It is very relaxing to listen to before going to sleep.
  • ACK Now
    Sleepy time ✅
    I like the topics and it helps put me to sleep better than any other bedtime podcasts.
  • GeeEL91
    Exactly as promised
    The creator and or narrator gives a great history lesson and in a sleepy narrative. The pacing is perfect.
  • maxmill007
    Salt episode is a favorite
    The history lessons are interesting enough to keep my attention but delivered so calmly, not too stimulating. My brain engages just enough allowing sleep to happen.
  • Al I ❤️ scary
    👌
    I’m so sorry but you’re voice is not calming and it’s so raspy fr u sounds like a raspy balloon 🎈 😭😳🤧🫤 but other than that I love the history facts❤️🫣😤
  • Sandycott
    I love the topics but can’t handle the whispery mysterious voice…
    I listen to podcasts when exercising. This doesn’t work!
  • Note Rush gal
    Love it but whisper
    Best podcast but it could use whispering
  • PattyJL
    One of my favorites
    My only complaint is I wish there were more of them.
  • Lisa K A
    Entertaining and educational!
    One of my new favorites!
  • River Jets
    Voice
    I love the subjects and style of your delivery but the popping/snapping of your consonants into your microphone is very distracting.
  • Simplicity10
    Love this!
    Just found this podcast and I really enjoy it. It keeps me engaged enough to stop my thoughts from wandering but not so engaged that it keeps me awake wondering what will happen next. Harris has a nice calming voice.
  • PennMacD
    Joan of Arc - Jeanne D’Arc
    Wow. “ she is named Joan of Arc because it’s believed her fathers name was D’Arc. It survived to be known today as Joan OF Arc.”🤦🏼‍♀️ No, dude. “De” in French is “of” in English So in France TODAY she would be called Jeanne D’Arc., which LITERALLY translates to Joan of Arc in English. That was excruciating.
  • becky.lavi
    Love!
    Would love more full episodes and less “alerts” which take up too much space in the feed. Love the show and want more!
  • CMHobgood
    Relax and Learn!
    Great podcast! Where current history conveys such atrocities and struggle, this is an view of history that “connects historical dots” in pleasing, surprising ways. For example, try the “Rubber” episode!
  • Treechic
    Interesting topics but won’t keep you awake
    Harrison reads in a calm and relaxing manner. I hope this podcast continues. Please make more!
  • clarkianne
    Convinced
    I was skeptical that a ‘soothing voice’ podcast could help me fall asleep. I almost didn’t try Calm History because I love history and figured the subject matter might keep me awake but within 5 minutes on the first night I was OUT. Please make more!!
  • Vinny Vinagre
    Please make more
    I need more of these!
  • Weeto88
    Love it
    A relaxing and wonderful way to learn history
  • App Rover
    Perfect
    I love history and this adds the bonus of a very calming feeling.
  • Ren Loj
    More episodes!
    I was sent here thanks to Sleep with Me podcast. I love things that help me find some sense of calm and I love history even more. This podcast is the calmest slam dunk!
  • phat_tt
    Fantastic
    Was feeling antsy and wanted something that would help me calm down for the evening. This hit the spot.
