  • Fall Asleep with Frank — A Slow Ride Through the Taieri Gorge

    Fall Asleep with Frank — A Slow Ride Through the Taieri Gorge
    Jul 2 2026
    Tonight, Frank takes you on a slow, gentle train journey through one of New Zealand's most remarkable landscapes. The Taieri Gorge Railway winds through the deep, folded country south of Dunedin, following the Taieri River across a dozen iron viaducts and through ten tunnels, before emerging into the wide, quiet plains around Middlemarch. It is a line built through difficult terrain by patient hands, and it has been carrying passengers through that same scenery for well over a century.

    Frank begins at Dunedin Railway Station — one of the most beautiful station buildings in the Southern Hemisphere, dressed in dark basalt and bright Oamaru stone — and follows the route kilometre by kilometre into the gorge. Along the way, he pauses at the Wingatui Viaduct, the largest wrought iron structure in New Zealand, built in 1887 and still standing quietly over Mullocky Gully. He describes the long, slow brightening as the train emerges from the Salisbury Tunnel, the rhythm of wheels on rail, and the particular feeling of being carried through a landscape without any effort of your own.

    This is a sleep story for anyone who finds peace in old railways, quiet engineering, and the slow procession of rock and river outside a window. No decisions are required. Nothing is asked of you except to close your eyes and let the journey carry you. By the time the train reaches Middlemarch, you will almost certainly be asleep. A calming episode to help you relax and fall asleep.

  • Fall Asleep with Frank — Drifting Across Scotland: A Quiet History of the Forth and Clyde Canal

    Fall Asleep with Frank — Drifting Across Scotland: A Quiet History of the Forth and Clyde Canal
    Jul 1 2026
    Tonight, Frank takes you along one of Scotland's most quietly remarkable waterways: the Forth and Clyde Canal, a thirty-five-mile channel of still water threading across the central Scottish lowlands from the River Carron at Grangemouth in the east to the River Clyde at Bowling in the west.

    This is a slow, unhurried history. Frank traces the canal's long journey from its authorisation by act of parliament in 1768, through the years of stalled construction, financial difficulty, and the steady human effort that eventually carried a cask of Forth water across Scotland and poured it into the Clyde in 1790. Along the way, you'll hear about John Smeaton and Robert Whitworth, the engineers who shaped the work; Sir Lawrence Dundas, whose investment kept it moving; and the Glasgow merchants who demanded their own branch to Port Dundas so the city would not be left behind.

    The canal follows roughly the same line as the Antonine Wall, the ancient Roman frontier built nearly two thousand years before anyone thought to dig a waterway there. Frank moves gently through the landscape — past Kilsyth and Twechar, through Kirkintilloch and Bishopbriggs — pausing on the summit level, the reservoir systems that kept it full, and the thirty-nine locks that lifted and lowered vessels across the width of Scotland.

    This is a bedtime podcast for anyone who finds rest in quiet places, slow histories, and the sound of still water. Perfect as a sleep aid for restless minds. A calming episode to help you relax and fall asleep.
