Like if you hear "calm river", imagine that. If you hear "heavy rain over a tree", imagine that.

Though sometimes it is very interesting and might delay sleep a bit
No matter how interesting it is, it very rarely takes me setting the timer for another 20 min, almost always I fall asleep in the first run, often times within the first 10 min.
What makes it funny is I will be listening a single episode for weeks sometime, often listening the same parts over and over again simply because I can’t precisely start today where I fell asleep yesterday.
It became a part of a routine that I am genuinely looking forward to. This is how I worked through the entire Mike Duncan opus (Revolutions first, and then the History of Rome), I am currently working through the History of Byzantium by Robin Pierson, but occasionally I am listening to Sean Carrol, and sometimes I will go back to In our Time by BBC’s Melwyn Bragg.
Actually, come to think of it, most of my podcast listening time is bedtime. I would hate to waste it to listen something boring.
