Since the white noise from my fan isn’t enough, I used to fall asleep to podcasts: primarily Mike Duncam on the Roman Empire (then on revolutions), Rich and Tracey on the Civil War, or BBC’s “In Our Time.”

But now I listen to the soothing voices of the dissident faction on the wars: Alexander Mercouris, Glenn Diesen, Nima Alkhorshid, Daniel Davis, even Judge Napolitano (though his voice is not particularly soothing). The content is interesting, in a sports fan kind of way, but I regard geopolitics as a subdiscipline of political economy, and none of them take that perspective!

In any case, their voices are soothing, and if I need to descend quickly to my bunker, I expect them to alert me.

What is your ASMR solution?
