The Sleeping Almanac
Odysseus in the Underworld · The Odyssey
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.
Welcome to The Sleeping Almanac. Tonight the travelers sail to the quiet edge of the world, where the living may speak once more with the friends they have lost. A blind prophet gives the way home, a mother is met again, and the great names of the old war come softly out of the mist to talk a while by a small fire. A tender, grave telling for sleep, calm enough to drift to and rich enough to stay awake for if you choose.
Close your eyes. Let the fire on the beach burn low. There is nothing to do now but listen and rest.
