This episode starts on the subject of tarot, a deck of cards that originated in mid-15th century Europe to play card games but eventually was used by cartomancers for fortune-telling, and somehow ends up on aboriginal Australians, an ancient native people that have the oldest continuous culture in the world. 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.
