Before the reading begins, this episode opens with a quiet bedtime story told over the soft hum of the highway — a gentle moment meant to slow your breathing and ease you into the night — before shifting into a warm AM-radio narration of Part 4 of The British Report on the Loss of the Titanic, where the damage to the ship is quietly detailed: how the steel gave way, how quickly the bow filled, and how the gradual weakening led toward her final moments, followed by the earliest rescue efforts as boats were lowered, decisions were made under pressure, and the first calls for help were sent out, all carried on the calming rhythm of a long nighttime drive designed to guide you toward deep, natural sleep.
