This episode starts on the subject of Jade, a precious mineral used in ceremonial objects and jewelry in antiquity across the world, and somehow ends up on the House of Windsor, the reigning royal house of the UK who renamed themselves in 1917 due to high anti-German sentiment during WWI. 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.
