- What is the Multiverse? Science, Philosophy & Science Fiction Story for Sleep
This episode will give you an overview of the concept of multiverse: where does it come from? What are the various meanings and ideas behind that term? I detail different versions of this idea, coming from cosmology such as the "Eternal Inflation Multiverse" and the "Cosmic Landscape Hypothesis" derived from String Theory, quantum mechanics (the "Many-Worlds Interpretation"), and the "Computational Multiverse" hypothesis. I also tell you about thinkers such as Anaximander, Copernic, and Giordano Bruno, who all contributed in their own ways to the intellectual revolutions necessary for this concept to emerge.

1 hr 4 min - History of Cosmetics, From Antiquity Down to Our Days
Tonight’s episode is a remastered version of one of the first stories ever released on the podcast. The original version covered cosmetics and perfumes; in this new version we expanded the history of cosmetics and left the history of perfumes for a future story.
The new material covers the influence of Hollywood and flapper culture, women who helped build the modern beauty industry, dangerous cosmetics and the rise of regulation, makeup during World War II, and the changing beauty culture of the 1950s and 1960s. We also explore the history of cosmetics, as we did in the original story, from ancient pigments and Egyptian kohl to Japanese beauty traditions, and more.This content is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.

1 hr 19 min - History of Castles | Documentary for Sleep
In this relaxing story, I tell you about the history of castles in Europe, from the first earthworks from the Bronze Age to Roman castra and finally medieval castles. We follow their development from motte & bailey castles to giant fortresses of the 14th century with dungeons, concentric walls, drawbridges, portcullis, machicolations, moats...
I also tell you about medieval society and how castles are an architectural projection of it, medieval siege warfare and its machines like the trébuchet, and I take you to a few locations like Alesia, Windsor Castle and the Krak des Chevaliers.

3 hr 6 min - Mission to Mars: Space Travel and Terraformation
This episode is a remastered and improved version of one of the first stories ever released on the podcast. This new version includes updated information, as well as very recent results published in July 2026 from MAVEN, the spacecraft that spent more than 11 years studying Mars and the history of its atmosphere. I also talk about AstroRad, a new device tested in deep space that could help protect astronauts from some forms of space radiation.
As usual with our space cruises, I take you to Mars and back. To entertain you along the journey, I tell you about orbits, space travel, spacecraft, and some of the difficulties of manned missions, including microgravity, radiation, and the challenges of spending months in space. We also explore the history of Mars, its climate, geology, and environment, and finally the idea of terraforming the planet one day in the distant future—and what such an enormous project would actually involve.This content is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.

1 hr 28 min - History of Alexander the Great | Documentary for Sleep
Alexander the Great is a name that sounds almost more legendary than real. In tonight's episode, we will talk about his time, his life and his conquests.
Born from King Philip II of Macedon and Olympias of Epirus, educated by Aristotle, Alexander takes the lead of the League of Corinth, a coalition of Greek states. He leads his army into the conquest of the greatest empire of the time: the empire of the Achaemenids. He ends up conquering it entirely, defeating Darius III at the decisive battles of Issus and Gaugamela, and founding an empire that stretches from Greece to India, and Central Asia to Egypt. I will tell you what we know of the man himself too, and how his achievements changed the world.This content is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.

1 hr 21 min - History of Furniture | Documentary for Sleep
In this soft-spoken sleep story, I tell you about the history of furniture from Prehistory to our days, with an emphasis on French styles from the 17th and 18th Centuries (Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI style). I also explain a few different techniques, like veneering, marquetry, and ormolu (gilt bronze).

1 hr 10 min - History of Lost Cities: Machu Picchu, Meroë, Mohenjo-Daro (Sleep Story)
In this bedtime story, I tell you about three “lost cities” and the civilizations that built them:
• Machu Picchu, built as a retreat for Inca emperors 50 miles from their capital, Cusco, and largely forgotten by the outside world for more than 300 years.• Meroë, the capital of the Kingdom of Kush, along with a brief history of Nubia and its relations with Egypt in antiquity. Before Meroë became the capital, Nubian kings from Kush founded Egypt’s Twenty-Fifth Dynasty, and during the first millennium BC, they covered Nubia with pyramids.• Mohenjo-daro, a large and enigmatic city from the third millennium BC, built by the Indus Valley Civilization and later declining along with it.This video is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.

1 hr - Review of the Periodic Table of Elements (30 to 118), Bedtime Sleepy Science
In this science talk for bedtime, I review the periodic table of the elements methodically and explain in simple terms plenty of phenomena and concepts about chemistry and physics (for example in this episode: metalloids, alpha and beta decay, Xenon poisoning of nuclear reactors...) as well as the industrial and economic relevance of some of these elements. For tonight, we continue with elements 30 to 118, including zinc, arsenic, rhodium, silver, tungsten, platinum, gold, mercury, lead, uranium and plutonium.
