The Sleeping Almanac
Aladdin · The Original 1001 Nights Tale
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.
A slow, calm 3 hour fairy tale sleep story to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Tonight the lamp is lit again and the storyteller opens the old book to Aladdin, told the way it was first told three centuries ago, long before any film. A tailor's son in a city in China, a stranger who calls him nephew, a cold fire on a mountainside, and not one genie but two, one in an old ring and one in a battered brass lamp. There is a garden where the fruit is made of jewels, a princess named Badroulbadour, forty basins of gold, and a palace built in a single quiet night.
Settle in, close your eyes, and let it drift over you. The pacing is slow, the voice is soft, and the music never spikes. There is a scheming magician in it, but he is gently outwitted long before the end, and every door he closes is opened again. There is nothing here to fear. You do not have to watch. You do not have to remember any of it in the morning.
