Long, quiet history, read slowly enough to fall asleep to.

Real events, told at an easy pace, with the small details left in: the weather, the dates, the names of the people who were there. Put it on and close your eyes.

Narrated by an AI voice.

You'll hear the ending eventually. Probably not tonight.

  • The History of Halloween
    26 Oct 2026

    Before the pumpkin, there was the turnip. In Ireland and Scotland, faces were carved into turnips and set beside the house, and the jack-o'-lantern took its name from Stingy Jack, a man who tricked the Devil. This episode follows the night from a Gaelic festival at the end of summer, through the feast days the church laid on top of it, across the Atlantic with Irish and Scottish emigrants, and on to paper party guides, candy corn and the first cries of trick or treat. Along the way, some two hundred boys leave a stuffed dummy on a railway track in Kentucky.

    Cover picture: "A Merry Halloween" postcard, about 1910. Public domain.

  • The Crippen Case
    12 Oct 2026

    On the last evening of January 1910, four people played cards in a rented house in north London. One of them, the music hall singer Cora Crippen, was never seen again.

    The American doctor Hawley Crippen, his typist Ethel Le Neve travelling as his son, the Scotland Yard inspector who crossed the Atlantic on a faster ship to meet them, and the ship's wireless that let the newspapers follow the chase day by day.
