I use Spotify to download music / podcasts so not sure if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance

I travel a lot for work and listen to hours and hours of music on flights and long drives. But when you stay in 5 different hotel rooms in 5 different states and time zones in one week sometimes it’s hard to unwind and sleep.
Alcohol helps ;) but not that sustainable week in, week out.
So far I’ve tried philosophy, ted talks, true crime, science and history podcasts.
Sadly none of these have been right for me...

I’ve been trying to find podcasts on Spotify that suit me for a while and haven’t had a lot of success so far.Have you tried sleep mediation podcasts? It helps me when my mind is ticking over too much and can't sleep. Some are a bit funny, but I'll do anything for a good nights sleep.

This has been me so far as well, hence why I put the call out. In fact, not sure I like Spotify at all. Any other alternatives now that Pandora is gone (isn't it???)

Makingit - youtube makers talking about making stuff and some random thoughts.
Macbreak Weekly - Apple focused tech and random thoughts.
Reply All - weird stuff that happens often originating from the internet.
Back to Work - kinda tech based, but often just amusing ramblings by two dudes.
Art of manliness - interesting interviews with people (mainly blokes) about a range of different things. They have usually just released a book.

Each episode centres around an event or person from history selected for its humorousness or peculiarity. Every week, comedian Dave Anthony reads a story to his friend, Gareth Reynolds, who has no idea what the topic is going to be about.
NOTE:
this is a language heavy grown up podcast.

The host Wendy Zukerman really catches the kids attention and I don't mind having them going while I'm driving.

And on the last trip we got through a few of Dr Karl's 'Shirtloads of Science' series.
We really liked Tim Low talking about what is native, there's so many 'native' plants and animals that we've spread around this country, it was really intersting to hear what species are out of place these days.
Other good ones where the Jelly fish and 'How to illuminate your big idea'.
https://shirtloadsofscience.libsyn.com/ (https://shirtloadsofscience.libsyn.com/)
Both of these series are on Spotify as well.

The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that started in China in the 2nd century B.C. Via a combination of roads, and sea routes, goods like silk, paper and spices were transported from the producers in Asia to markets in Europe. Eventually, it wasn’t just goods that were traded – there were also ideas, customs, religions and even diseases.
The Silk Road expanded throughout different continents and civilizations for several centuries. It connected Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. A marketplace across the world.
Two major expansions can be traced back to the Silk Road. One of these was the introduction of Buddhism into China. The second was the Black Death.
Vermin accompanied some of the goods along the silk road – and upon the vermin were fleas. These fleas carried the bubonic plague—also known as the Black Death—and as the fleas entered Europe, so did the plague. It’s estimated that in the 14th century, between 100 and 125 million people died from the Black Death, reducing the world’s population by somewhere between 30 and 60%.
The Silk Road is recognized as the very first true globalization that the world experienced. The free trade of goods and the passing of ideas and customs from one society to another. It changed everything.
It would be many centuries later that a very different kind of marketplace would open up on a modern platform, a new trade route – using the same name.
Silk Road.
