I must stress this has nothing to do with being boring, what I’m interestedare folks who lulllyou to sleep through the smoothness and flow and safety you feel from their sustained speech independant from their content.
- If you had to pinpoint, what about their voice or schtick makes them so hypnotic…?
Maybe this is too obvious, but I’m surprised no one has said Joe Pera yet.
“This is 99% Invisible, I’m Roman Mars”
Matt O’Dowd on PBS Spacetime
Sebastian Lague does graphics/interactive programming with a good dose of poetry and has a very soothing voice. Some of his videos are absolutely fabulous
Stuff You Should Know podcast with Josh and Chuck. They do interesting talks, but their voices make me sleepy.
Also Joe Ressingtons voice from a variety of the Late Night Linux group of podcasts. Just good vocal tone, and British accent, as well as they make super clean studio audio. https://latenightlinux.com/
For me, it’s always been Phoebe Judge from the podcast Criminal.
And this is love!
What is it about TrueCrimeTM that is so hypnotic as class? So weird, Law and Order used to be my Ambien haha
Drew Ackerman from the Sleep With Me podcast. This is in direct defiance of your post, though. He self describes as the world’s most boring person.
The narrator from Fall of Civilization is very relaxing to listen to
Yeah good call. I kinda forget he exists and then once every six months he pops up to deliver three hours of perfect storytelling
Seconded. It’s a very soothing show for being distracted enough to doze off.
Tim from Grand Illusions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCzJUCDjp0E
VaatiVidya (FromSoft game lore videos) and Voices of the Past (narration of primary historical sources) for sure.
In Deep Geek on YouTube. Content on LotR, SoIaF, and other fantasy. He’s also read some stories as Audio books.
My bedtime listening ❤️
Art Bell. His voice is just buttery silk, the content is batshit crazy, and it was always a late-night show.
Sean Caroll - intonation and cadence. [subject matter awesome. must. stay. awake]
John Hopkins on Short History Of has the most beautiful soothing voice.
