The voice you hear is the creator's own. He cloned it from recordings of his own voice, so every story is told in his voice. If you enjoy falling asleep to it, follow the show so each new story arrives on its own, and leave a rating on Apple Podcasts so other people can find it.
Subscribing on YouTube helps the show grow, even if you only listen here: youtube.com/@TheSleepingAlmanac
The Sleeping Almanac is also a shelf of books, bedtime stories to read and mythology coloring books: gildenmyth.com/books
A bonus for the long nights: six Mesopotamian Mythology sleep stories from this feed in one long episode, told back to back with short pauses between them, then a long stretch of quiet music so it keeps playing through the night. It is the same compilation that airs live on our YouTube channel tonight.
In this episode:
0:00:00 Welcome
0:00:35 The Enuma Elish, the Babylonian Creation
1:20:59 Enheduanna, the First Named Author

3:44:57 Gilgamesh, Part Two
5:03:45 Gilgamesh, Part Three
6:15:45 Etana and the Eagle

Every story here is also in the feed as its own full episode.
