This episode starts on the Amazon rainforest, which makes up over half of the world’s rainforest and is home to 16,000 different species of trees, and somehow ends up on chess, one of the world’s most popular games for centuries played by millions of people throughout history. How are they connected? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Sleep Encyclopedia provides an endless and interconnected rabbit hole of real information presented in a way that lulls you to sleep as quickly and deeply as possible. The calming, deep voiced narration may begin with a history of Holland, segue to the Dutch tradition of wearing wooden shoes, then segue to the tradition of filling those shoes with candy on Christmas Eve, the history of candy canes, facts about tooth enamel, and so on. Every show will begin and end in a different place, covering different topics, which - if we are doing our job - you won't hear much of anyway. So, lie back, relax, and prepare to go to sleep.
