Podcasts to Help You Fall Asleep

Town & Country reviews some of the most popular podcasts that promise to help listeners nod off to sleep faster.

Sleep with Me.

Drew Ackerman created “Sleep with Me” all the way back in 2013, and he’s been a go-to source for sleepy-time content ever since. Ackerman leads the listener through dull, overlong stories, complete with plenty of asides and tangents, all while maintaining a flat monotone—a recipe for sweet dreams if there ever was one.

99% Invisible.

There are podcasts that are designed to inspire drowsiness, and then there are those that come upon it incidentally. “99% Invisible” belongs in the latter category. Host Roman Mars tells genuinely fascinating tales about how design impacts our lives, which deserve full, conscious attention—but he also happens to have one of the most soothing voices in the biz, making for an ideal bedtime listen. (Maybe just be sure to tune in again, once you’ve gotten a good night’s rest.)

Slow Radio

BBC Radio 3’s “Slow Radio” calls itself an “antidote to today’s frenzied world,” and it really is just that. Each episode taps into a different audio world, bringing listeners soundscapes from around the planet. Think of it as a more intellectual version of the traditional white noise offerings.
