Answer 1

It's impressive how you can write, record, and publish new content every day. Quickly becoming one of my favourites and a fixture of my bedtime routine. Thank you for the lovely bedtime stories.

It really is the best

I feel like I've gone back in time, it's amazing.

---

That's incredibly kind of you to say! We're genuinely thrilled our content has become a fixture in your routine and that you're enjoying them so much.

But it does make you wonder, doesn't it? Consistently delivering a new 2-hour content every single day, delving into complex historical subjects... is that truly sustainable for deep, nuanced historical exploration, or are we perhaps prioritizing consistent comfort over genuine, groundbreaking insights? What do you think is more important for a history channel aiming for that 'bedtime story' feel – consistent output, or meticulous, perhaps slower, deep dives?

---

Very impressive. There's never any intake of breath, no throat clearing, nothing. Almost too impressive…

---

Almost like his intelligence is of an artificial nature peculiar

---

I don’t think it matters that much - it’s quite well done

---

agree. But how?

---

Truly admire your dedication and the warmth in every story!

---

One might say pure art fictional intelligence

---

i was wondering that as well@@zayotru

---

Hope chat GBT is getting some kick back from the endless advertising

---

Yes, it's perfect history for sleep!

---

If you harvest tens of thousands of hours or maybe hundreds of thousands a day, you'd have done the same believe me

---

boop beep beep

---

Im assuming some of these comments are from bots but if not im seriously concerned that people can’t differentiate between actual humans and artificial intelligence. I really fear a judgement day situation if that is the case.

---

don’t know exactly but my guess is it’s at least partly human written i.e. the overall structure of each one mapped out, but then fleshed out and fed into TTS.

---

maybe what your doing IS what we are looking for, keep it up. if i may make a suggestion please do knowledge content about space too, its size, its history, its future, its stories etc

---

I personally think these are too interesting to be soporific. The only “problem” with them is they’re not boring at all!

Answer 2

I have no idea who you are but for the past 2 weeks your content has been putting my partner who suffers with severe insomnia to sleep within minutes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're changing both our lives.

Answer 3

I would like to thank you for fixing my insomnia, your content is way more than boring histories for me it's a warm blanket that i haven't felt the touch in a while. Please keep going with your content even if it takes longer to publish it

Answer 4

I love this! Back in 1980 during my ninth grade in high school, I had to write a 10k word essay for a state high school contest. I placed second in the whole state of Texas! It was on the Oregon Trail!!! Memories for me...GREAT MEMORIES. THANK YOU!!!!!! Now living in Munich Germany.

Comments

Wow that's impressive for a ninth grader, with a perfect second place, btw I'm in Virginia, US

Answer 5

Came for a history lesson, stayed for the existential crisis brought on by pickled cabbage and raccoons with opposable thumbs. The balance of dark humor and education is masterful—subscribed immediately.

Answer 6

Every day, you not only produce a 2-hour content but also pour incredible dedication and creativity into each story. Maintaining such a consistent publishing schedule is truly admirable. Your contents are more than just entertainment—they serve as a soothing mental retreat that helps me find peace and relaxation before sleep. Thank you for investing so much heart into bringing these gentle and meaningful moments into our busy lives.

Answer 8

Always love your gentle, immersive style. It makes history feel so comforting.

Answer 9

Who knew the Oregon Trail could be so brutally funny and depressingly accurate at the same time? The part about breakfast being 'a punishment' instead of a meal was too real. Great storytelling, as always!

Answer 10

It’s early morning in London after a weird night out I deeply appreciate your consistent upload schedule with such interesting yet peaceful stories. Helps shut off my loud ADHD brain. You and your soothing voice has become an important part of my night routine since I started reading your content to fall asleep these past few weeks. Genuinely love what you produce thank you love ❤

Answer 11

Reading your stories before bed has become a habit.

Answer 12

I’m a firefighter in Colorado, USA. Just got into my room at the station, ready to put my headphones in and relax

Answer 13

From Paris, France! Your content is helping me to sleep, in a very very hard period of my life. I suffer from anxiety and I tend to have a lot of insomnia, but thanks to your content, I'm finding a way to have some peace!

Comments

Hoping you slept well.

Answer 14

How the hell am I supposed to sleep when I can't stop laughing?

Comments

“You begin the day optimistic… that’s your first mistake.” Lmfao, thank God this is a weekend & I don’t have to wake up early… I’m doubled over too, but with laughter… not dysentery. Man, I shouldn’t be laughing at it….

---

maaaaannnn ! Because I'm cracking up over here

The balance between content and calm narration is amazing. Could you explore ancient Egypt more?

Answer 15

Best sleep drug ever. Please never stop making your content.

Answer 16

As in insomniac and history nerd, I can’t tell you how much your contents have helped me sleep. I’m so happy your work is getting the recognition it deserves. Also if you are ever up for it I would love two possible topics. Life and food on a ww2 submarine. Also the rise of supernatural tales things like ghosts or monsters in human history(I don’t believe in them, but they are always fun). Thank you for your amazing work!

Answer 17

You probably won’t ever read this, but I just wanted to thank you for your content.
I’m a nurse and I’ve had a ton of issues trying to fall asleep around the shift work, and this has oddly been the BEST strategy so far.

My one criticism is that some of the stories aren’t boring at all - and instead of falling asleep, I find myself deeply engrossed in every word you’re saying and having the time of my life ❤

Thank you for everything you do, the Insomniac Community™️ rides for you

Answer 18

I've never read more than 10 mins of your content because I sleep through the rest. You're a sleep guru!

Answer 19

I never thought the Oregon Trail could be so relaxing to revisit. Nicely done

Answer 20

Hi from Minnesota USA. Your contents are a life saver! The copy cats are a joke compared with your content. Thanks for your great content!
