The Devoted Friend by Oscar Wilde — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A gentle bedtime story to help you drift off tonight: Oscar Wilde's sharply funny fable The Devoted Friend, read slowly and unhurried for sleep and insomnia relief. This continues the Books at Bedtime strand — also known as Coffee Break for the Soul — from the Calming Anxiety podcast, a series of classic story readings designed as a calming audiobook for restless nights. For the full library, plus ambient night-light features for the small hours, download Anchored on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669Play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored Narrated softly by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, this reading follows kind-hearted little Hans and the rich miller who calls himself Hans's most devoted friend while quietly taking advantage of his generosity. Framed as a story-within-a-story, told by a linnet to a rather pompous water rat beside a pond, it's classic Wilde — witty, satirical, and gently moralising, ideal as an unhurried listen for falling asleep or quieting an anxious mind before bed. First published in 1888 in the collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales, Oscar Wilde's The Devoted Friend is in the public domain worldwide (Wilde died in 1900); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text. This episode continues the Books at Bedtime strand, alongside The Selfish Giant, The Happy Prince, The Sphinx Without a Secret, The Nightingale and the Rose, and The Model Millionaire (also by Oscar Wilde), and classic short fiction from Katherine Mansfield, Kate Chopin, and Arthur Conan Doyle — currently working through The Hound of the Baskervilles — with new instalments added regularly to the main Calming Anxiety feed.

Diretor de 'Kardec' e 'Nosso Lar' faz estreia mundial de 'As Irmãs Fox' em Hollywood

Brasil-Mundo

Wagner de Assis é conhecido por transformar em cinema histórias que questionam os limites entre o que podemos ver e o que escolhemos acreditar. Responsável por levar multidões às salas brasileiras com os sucessos da franquia "Nosso Lar" e a cinebiografia "Kardec", o cineasta agora atravessa fronteiras para estrear seu projeto mais ambicioso, o primeiro totalmente em língua inglesa. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles O lançamento mundial de "As Irmãs Fox", coprodução com os Estados Unidos, aconteceu no North Hollywood CineFest e traz a fascinante e conturbada trajetória de Leah, Kate e Maggie Fox, jovens norte-americanas, que, em meados do século XIX, se transformaram nas figuras centrais de um movimento que se espalhou dos Estados Unidos para diferentes partes do mundo. Se em trabalhos anteriores o diretor carioca buscou a consolidação doutrinária ou a jornada após a morte, esse novo longa combina drama histórico, suspense, elementos sobrenaturais e desperta debates sobre ciência, crença e os limites entre o mundo material e o espiritual. Segundo Assis, a trama funciona quase como uma reparação histórica. Para ele, trazê-la, principalmente, ao público norte-americano é expor um capítulo negligenciado da própria cultura local. "Essas mulheres eram as mais famosas da América no século XIX e a minha maior surpresa foi descobrir que foram quase apagadas da história. As poucas coisas registradas sobre elas dizem que eram uma fraude, que eram mentira e isso não é verdade. Quando eu entendi que esse tipo de história merecia ser contada, comecei a descobrir o quanto essa América inteira do século XIX tinha desaparecido", contou o diretor à RFI. Para fazer a produção e o roteiro, também assinados por ele, foram cerca de 10 anos de pesquisas e imersão em arquivos históricos. "Eu conhecia a história delas de uma maneira muito enciclopédica. Quando eu decidi fazer o filme, percebi a quantidade de livros que existiam naquela época. Pelo menos duas biografias, um livro da Leah Fox, que a gente menciona no próprio filme. Jornais, artigos, elas chegaram a frequentar a Casa Branca para ajudar como médiuns. Eu fui para lugares impensáveis. A costa leste norte-americana tinha mais de 70 jornais espiritualistas", detalha. "Eu tinha feito a biografia do Kardec e falei: 'Acho que é bom fechar o ciclo.' Começa com elas, o que o Arthur Conan Doyle chamou de uma 'invasão organizada dos espíritos'. Porque quando explode o movimento, explode para o mundo inteiro e depois chega a Kardec, eu achei que seria válido entender essa realidade e colocar na tela", explica Assis. O Brasil como cenário A história se passa totalmente nos Estados Unidos; é uma produção de época, mas a maioria das filmagens foi no interior de casarões históricos no Rio de Janeiro, com algumas cenas no país norte-americano. “Olhar para o passado é muito fácil. Julgar o passado é muito fácil e distorcer o passado é muito fácil também. Mas talvez tirar um pouco desse julgamento, pular lá para trás e tentar respirar aquela época e deixar essa época funcionar é um desafio de produção enorme. A gente precisava de um desenho de produção potente e de interpretações que absolutamente estão à altura", avalia Assis. Mas foram as filmagens no próprio país onde aconteceu a história que flertaram com o extraordinário. Nas locações no estado de Connecticut, a equipe precisava de paisagens cobertas pela neve para retratar com autenticidade passagens cruciais do roteiro. "E eu queria muito que tivesse neve, porque naquele dia 31 de março de 1848, tinha um relato de que nevou muito na área. Quando a gente começou a ver a previsão do tempo, as pessoas diziam assim: ‘não há a menor condição de ter neve' porque não neva há quatro anos. E eu falei: 'claro, se não tiver neve, vou ter que colocar neve digital. Mas bem que podia ter neve'. Eu falei só isso. E no dia em que a gente ia filmar o exterior, que precisaria filmar com neve, caíram 10, 15 centímetros de neve pesada, e depois não nevou mais. Falei: 'Gente, é quase uma bênção'. Sei que é só um fenômeno da natureza, mas gosto de falar que a natureza ajudou a arte", lembra o diretor. O elenco reúne talentos dos Estados Unidos e do Brasil. As irmãs Fox são interpretadas pelas norte-americanas Sionne Elise, Jamie Hughes e Marie McHugh (essa última também com cidadania brasileira). No papel de Margareth Fox, mãe das três, está a atriz paulista Daniela Galli. "A família Fox tem uma linhagem de mulheres fortes para a época em que viveram. Pesquisando sobre a minha personagem, soube que ela cresceu no Canadá, em uma família de imigrantes russos e mudou para os Estados Unidos porque se casou com um norte-americano", explica a atriz. "O marido enveredou pelo alcoolismo e ela decidiu se separar. Então ela criou as filhas sozinhas num país que não era o dela no início do século 19. Então, as mulheres da família Fox também sofreram as consequências sociais e o preconceito por terem uma vida diferente dos padrões morais e do conhecimento disponíveis na época”, conclui Daniela Galli. O filme estreia nos cinemas brasileiros em 24 de setembro.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Becoming Kareem, the Skyhook, and the Search for a Self [From the Archive]

The James Altucher Show

Episode Description:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joins James for a From the Archive conversation about basketball, identity, mentorship, faith, writing, civil rights, and his book Becoming Kareem: Growing Up On and Off the Court.The episode begins with basketball. James asks Kareem how the game has changed since his playing days, and Kareem explains the shift toward the three-point shot, the rule changes around physical defense, and the way modern spacing has altered how teams score.But the conversation quickly becomes deeper than basketball.James sees Becoming Kareem as a book about the search for identity. Kareem agrees, explaining that Black Americans have often had identities imposed on them—first through slavery, then through Jim Crow, then through the lingering assumptions and limitations of American racism. His own journey required rejecting those imposed definitions and building an identity he could be proud of.Kareem emphasizes the importance of mentors. Some were direct mentors, like John Wooden and Bruce Lee. Others were cultural or intellectual mentors, like Malcolm X. Together, they helped him understand not only how to succeed, but how to think about who he wanted to become.The central advice Kareem gives young people is simple: knowledge is power. Learn what your future could be. Seek out what motivates you. Do not let someone else define your path. Every person has a unique spark, and the work is to discover where that spark leads.James and Kareem also talk about fundamentals. Kareem remembers John Wooden expecting him to graduate and teaching his players the smallest details of preparation, including how to put on their socks. The lesson is that success depends on doing the basic things correctly before the glamorous work begins.The conversation then turns to Kareem's life as a writer. James asks about the challenge of moving from basketball into Sherlock Holmes fiction. Kareem explains that writing Mycroft Holmes required serious preparation: understanding Victorian England, Arthur Conan Doyle's canon, and the possibilities hidden inside Mycroft's brief appearances.Kareem also reflects on Islam, his conversion, and the way faith gave him a moral anchor. He talks about being raised Catholic, studying Islam, reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and finding a belief system that helped him understand right and wrong.Near the end, James asks about Kareem's seriousness in photos and the HBO documentary Kareem: Minority of One. Kareem explains that his height made him visible everywhere he went, and that constant scrutiny made him more guarded than someone who could disappear into a crowd.The episode closes with the idea that everyone is, in some way, a minority of one. Every person has to figure out their own path, and often that path is not the one their parents followed. Kareem's story is about basketball, but it is also about becoming a whole person.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Kareem's career scoring record, the state of the NBA, Becoming Kareem, and his then-current writing projects reflect the original recording period.Since this conversation was recorded, LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer. The conversation remains historically valuable because it captures Kareem reflecting on his record, his era, and his evolution before that milestone changed.What You'll Learn:How Kareem thinks basketball changed after his era.Why the three-point shot transformed modern NBA strategy.Why Becoming Kareem is ultimately a book about identity.How imposed identity shaped Kareem's experience as a Black American.Why knowledge is power in the search for a future.How mentors helped Kareem understand who he was and who he wanted to become.What John Wooden taught him about education, discipline, and preparation.Why fundamentals matter before talent can fully express itself.How the lesson of “putting on your socks” applies far beyond basketball.Why Bruce Lee's “one kick 10,000 times” idea connects to the skyhook.How Kareem approached writing Sherlock Holmes fiction through Mycroft.Why religion became part of Kareem's search for identity.How Islam gave him a moral anchor.Why constant public scrutiny made him more guarded.Why competitive fire separates great athletes from talented ones who do not fully develop.Why every generation has to find its own path.Timestamped Chapters:[02:38] How Basketball ChangedKareem explains how the three-point shot, rule changes, and less physical defense changed the modern NBA.[04:14] Beyond BasketballJames introduces Becoming Kareem and frames Kareem's life as a continuing search for identity.[05:44] Rejecting an Imposed IdentityKareem explains how Black Americans have had identities imposed on them and why his journey required building one he could be proud of.[07:03] Mentors and the Making of a SelfJames points to Coach Wooden, Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Wilt Chamberlain, Malcolm X, and other influences who shaped Kareem's identity.[08:17] Knowledge Is PowerKareem says young people should seek knowledge, understand what motivates them, and choose a path instead of accepting one imposed by others.[09:57] Education, UCLA, and CommunityKareem explains why earning a college degree mattered to him personally and to his community.[11:12] Finding Your Path in AmericaKareem talks about the many ways to become successful and the need to figure out what you want to pursue.[12:12] Fundamental PreparationKareem explains why every field requires fundamentals, whether basketball, chemistry, law, or any other discipline.[13:05] John Wooden and the Socks LessonJames and Kareem discuss Wooden teaching players how to put on socks and why small details determine whether bigger work can happen.[14:26] The Skyhook and 10,000 KicksJames connects Bruce Lee's practice philosophy to Kareem's skyhook and the discipline of repeating one skill until it becomes mastery.[15:46] Becoming a Sherlock Holmes WriterKareem explains the challenge of entering a new creative field and writing about Mycroft Holmes.[17:02] Finding the Blank Space in MycroftJames notes that Kareem built a story from Arthur Conan Doyle's brief suggestion that Mycroft was, at times, the British government.[17:39] Religion and IdentityKareem explains how his Catholic upbringing, interest in monotheism, African history, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X led him toward Islam.[18:49] A Moral AnchorKareem says Islam helped him clarify his belief system and understand right and wrong.[20:06] A Minority of OneJames asks why Kareem often appeared so serious in photos, and Kareem explains the effect of lifelong scrutiny.[21:31] What Coach Wooden Still Teaches HimKareem reflects on Wooden's example, expectations, and belief that effort in academics and athletics was worthwhile.[22:47] Talent, Skill, and Competitive FireKareem says competitive fire often separates championship athletes from talented players who never fully make it.[24:35] Civil Rights and Speaking Up YoungJames asks about the Cleveland Summit, Muhammad Ali, and Kareem's early role in civil-rights conversations.[25:54] Everyone Is a Minority of OneJames and Kareem return to the question of identity and the need for each generation to define its own path.Additional Resources:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Official WebsiteBecoming Kareem — Hachette Book GroupMycroft Holmes Series — Penguin Random HouseKareem Abdul-Jabbar — Simon & Schuster Author PageWe All Want to Change the World — Penguin Random HouseGame of Death — Janus FilmsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This was a request, but fitted in with my current interest in mummies. Read my full notes on the history of the Egyptian Mummy in Horror here: https://www.classicghost.com/blog/the-egyptian-mummy-in-horror/ Old College, Oxford, in the last years of the nineteenth century. A young medical student named Abercrombie Smith shares a stair with a fellow he barely knows — a brilliant scholar of Eastern languages, whose rooms are crowded with the relics of a dead civilisation, and whose company he has been quietly warned against. Something is wrong with the sound that comes through the wall at night: a low, monotonous muttering, the same words over and over, in no language Smith can place. Enemies begin to suffer, one by one, in ways that leave no mark and no explanation. And in the corner of that cluttered room stands a thing purchased at auction, numbered like an item in a catalogue, upright, ancient, and — Smith is almost certain — not quite as still as it should be. "Lot No. 249" was written by Arthur Conan Doyle and first published in Harper's Magazine in September 1892. Doyle is best remembered as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, but he wrote extensively in the supernatural and horror genres throughout his career. He died in 1930, having remained a committed spiritualist to the end of his life.

Publicada originalmente en el anuario Beeton's Christmas Annual en 1887, "Estudio en Escarlata" (A Study in Scarlet) no es solo una novela de misterio: es el acta de nacimiento del detective más famoso de todos los tiempos, Sherlock Holmes, y de su inseparable cronista, el doctor John H. Watson. A través de esta obra, sir Arthur Conan Doyle no solo salvó su propia economía como médico con pocos pacientes, sino que revolucionó el género de la novela policíaca, consolidando las bases del método deductivo y de la narrativa de investigación que marcarían el siglo XX. Ocupa un lugar singular dentro de la historia de la literatura policial. No es únicamente la primera novela protagonizada por Sherlock Holmes y el doctor John Watson, sino también el punto de partida de uno de los personajes literarios más influyentes de todos los tiempos y de una tradición narrativa que terminaría transformando para siempre nuestra manera de entender el misterio, la investigación criminal y la figura del detective. Arthur Conan Doyle tenía entonces poco más de veintiocho años y todavía estaba lejos de imaginar la dimensión que adquiriría aquella creación. Holmes no había alcanzado aún la categoría de mito, Watson no era todavía el inseparable cronista de sus aventuras y el mundo literario no había descubierto que aquella peculiar combinación de inteligencia analítica, observación minuciosa, teatralidad y excentricidad podía convertirse en uno de los modelos más perdurables de la ficción moderna.

This is the first instalment of Books at Bedtime — also known as Coffee Break for the Soul — from the Calming Anxiety podcast, a strand of classic story readings designed as a calming audiobook for anxious or restless nights. If you'd like the whole library, plus ambient night-light features for the small hours, download Anchored on iOS:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Narrated softly by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, this reading follows a selfish giant who banishes children from his beautiful garden — only for it to fall into an endless winter until he learns, slowly and gently, what it means to let love back in. No jump scares, no urgency, nothing to keep your mind alert — just a slow, unhurried voice and a classic tale, ideal as a sleep story or relaxation audiobook for falling asleep, insomnia, and quieting an anxious mind before bed.

The Five Orange Pips (Sherlock Holmes) by Arthur Conan Doyle

Five dried orange pips, sent through the post with no letter, no explanation, only three initials scrawled beneath them. Twice before, the same type of letter arrived at an English door. Twice, within weeks, a man was dead. Now a third message has come, addressed to a man who comes seeking Sherlock Holme's help. Somewhere across an ocean, an old debt has not been forgotten. Sherlock Holmes has seen ciphers, poisons, and blackmail — but rarely a warning this odd. This is a story about how far the past can reach. Publication "The Five Orange Pips" first appeared in The Strand Magazine in November 1891. It was collected the following year in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Author Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer who created Sherlock Holmes, the world's most enduring fictional detective. Beyond the Holmes canon, he wrote historical novels, science fiction, and non-fiction across a career spanning five decades.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF A Scandal in Bohemia A Dramatic Reading by Carolyn Ossorio This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio trades police reports, crime scenes and courtroom testimony for gaslit streets, royal secrets and the fog-shrouded world of 221B Baker Street. Settle in for a special dramatic reading of “A Scandal in Bohemia,” Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes story and the unforgettable introduction of Irene Adler. When a mysterious masked visitor arrives at Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes finds himself drawn into an exceedingly delicate problem. A powerful European king is preparing to marry, but somewhere in London exists a photograph capable of destroying the match—and perhaps considerably more. The photograph belongs to Irene Adler, an American opera singer and former lover who has absolutely no intention of surrendering it. Holmes accepts the challenge with his customary confidence. There will be surveillance, disguises, deception and an elaborate trap designed to reveal exactly where Adler has hidden the evidence. There is only one problem. Irene Adler is playing the game, too. First published in 1891, “A Scandal in Bohemia” endures because Doyle does something remarkable with the Sherlock Holmes formula: he gives the world's most famous detective an adversary capable of seeing the board every bit as clearly as he does. This isn't a tale of grisly murder or elaborate violence. Its weapons are intelligence, observation, manipulation and the dangerous assumption that you've already figured out the person standing across from you. And for Holmes, Irene Adler will forever become simply: “The Woman.” Turn down the lights and join Carolyn for a journey into Victorian London and one of the most celebrated adventures in the Sherlock Holmes canon.

This week on The Devil's Ledger, we surrender to the heat and turn our attention toward masked lunatics, black-eyed children, Victorian blackmail, spectacular fraud, and another trip into a supernatural dimension that desperately needs better lighting. We begin with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Chucky Mask Spree. Philadelphia police say a masked man targeted at least half a dozen people during a bizarre early-morning spree, including a 40-year-old jogger whom he allegedly chased after asking whether she was ready to die. Surveillance cameras captured the suspect wearing a Chucky-style doll mask—and investigators noticed that beneath it he appeared to be wearing another black face covering. Fictional monsters are considerably less entertaining when someone decides to wear their face in the real world.

Idiot Mystic

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 20, 2026 74:25

Constantine the Great claimed a divine sign appeared before one of the most important battles in Roman history. Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, became convinced that the dead could communicate through mediums. Victor Hugo spent years taking part in séances where the supposed speakers included his dead daughter, Shakespeare, Jesus, Death, and even the Ocean. John Dee, mathematician and adviser to Queen Elizabeth I, recorded hundreds of attempts to communicate with angels. Emanuel Swedenborg went even further, claiming that for decades he could speak directly with spirits, angels, the dead, and beings connected with other worlds.In this episode of Idiot Mystic, we look at five historically important people who believed they had made contact with intelligence beyond the ordinary human mind.What did Constantine actually see before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge? Why did one of the most famous detective writers in history become such a devoted believer in Spiritualism? Who, or what, was speaking through Victor Hugo's table? Were John Dee's angels genuine beings, the work of Edward Kelley, or something stranger? And what happened to Emanuel Swedenborg when a respected scientist suddenly began claiming that heaven itself had opened to him?As usual, we look at the original claims, the historical records, the skeptical explanations, and the parts that remain difficult to explain.These stories include religious visions, communication with the dead, automatic writing, angelic languages, séances, altered states, possible fraud, grief, intuition, and some of the most elaborate claims of non-human intelligence ever made by respected historical figures.Maybe these people encountered God, spirits, angels, unconscious parts of their own minds, or something we still do not have a good name for.Whatever the answer, they listened.And what they heard changed their lives.Website: https://idiotmystic.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/idiotmysticTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@idiotmysticDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMListen to Idiot Mystic on YouTube and Spotify for more strange history, spirituality, psychology, mysticism, paranormal encounters, and attempts to understand the parts of reality that refuse to behave normally.Take care of yourself, please.

Blood on the Sawdust: The Brutal World of Victorian Boxing Episode Overview In this 9th Anniversary Special, we step out of the West End drawing rooms and into the blood-flecked, sawdust-covered floors of 19th-century “Fancy” public houses. Inspired by the depiction of East End street culture in A Thousand Blows, this episode explores the history of Victorian boxing—from the illegal bare-knuckle bouts of the Regency era to the gentrified, gloved sport codified under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. We examine how prizefighting evolved from a brutal survival strategy into a national obsession, the legal cat-and-mouse games played across county lines, and the medical and physical toll extracted from the fighters. We also dive into the remarkable life of international combat instructor Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery and uncover the overlooked history of 19th-century female prizefighters. Key Topics Covered: Housekeeping & AI Voice Policy: Why the podcast is permanently stepping away from AI-generated voice models in favour of human research, along with updates on replacement recording equipment and audio access. The “Sweet Science” & Prizefighting History: How bare-knuckle fighting functioned as a mix of martial arts, local wrestling, and survival in an era where the body was often a worker’s sole asset. The Structural Cage of the Law: The jurisdictional loopholes that allowed fights to flourish on county borders, and the evolution of legal precedents from R v Billingham (1825) to R v Coney (1882). The Aristocratic “Fancy” & Early Pioneers: The rise of sports journalism via Pierce Egan's Boxiana, and landmark international contests like the 1810 bout between Tom Cribb and former American slave Tom Molineaux. Case Study – The Ruin of Harry Broome: Following the career arc of Harry Broome from his controversial match at Acorn Bridge to his defeat by Tom Paddock and his eventual death in poverty. The Queensberry Transition: Why the introduction of gloves in 1867 was viewed with suspicion by working-class fighters, and how padded gloves inadvertently increased the long-term risk of chronic brain injury. Gentlemen, Self-Defence & Martial Arts: Highlights from Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery's C19th treatise Self Defence for Ladies and Gentlemen, including his views on boxing over firearms and his praise for female swordmasters. Women in the Ring: The subversion of Victorian gender norms, focusing on the 1888 world championship bout between Hattie Leslie and Alice Leary, and the legal outrage that followed.

A Case of Identity by Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 11, 2026 61:50

A woman comes to Baker Street with a hundred pounds a year, a typewriter, and a fiancé who has vanished into thin air as if he had never existed at all. Sherlock Holmes never leaves his chair but deduces its solution anyway. Somewhere in a plush sleeve, a torn glove, an ill-fitting boot, the truth is already sitting in plain sight — waiting only to be noticed by those who know how to think. "A Case of Identity" was first published in The Strand Magazine in September 1891, and later collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892). Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish writer and physician best known for creating Sherlock Holmes, one of the most enduring detectives in fiction. Beyond the Holmes canon, he wrote historical novels, science fiction, and non-fiction throughout his life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 11: The Man on the Tor | Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime A long, slow bedtime story for sleep and insomnia. Tonight, Chapter 11 of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, read aloud by Martin Hewlett — clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic, and host of the Calming Anxiety podcast. It is the 18th of October, and Dr Watson finally has two threads to pull. A name behind the initials L. L. And a stranger living somewhere among the stone huts on the hillside. He drives to Coombe Tracey to sit across from Laura Lyons and ask her, gently at first and then not gently at all, about a letter that was burned but not quite burned enough. On the road home he is waylaid by old Frankland, flushed with victory and wine, who takes Watson up to his roof, sets his eye to a telescope, and shows him a small figure carrying a bundle across the empty moor. And so the sun goes down over the great Grimpen Mire, gold on one slope and grey shadow on the other, while Watson sits waiting in the dark of a stone hut for its tenant to come home. When the footsteps finally arrive, the voice that speaks is one he knows better than any voice in the world. This is unhurried, low-stimulation listening built for a mind that will not switch off. No sudden music, no startle, no urgency in the telling. Just a steady voice, a Victorian moor, and thirty minutes of somewhere else to be. If sleep comes before Watson lights his cigarette, that is exactly as it should be. You are not expected to reach the end. Best listened to lying down, with the lights out and the volume set a shade lower than feels right. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was first published in 1902 and is in the public domain. Books at Bedtime is part of the Calming Anxiety family of shows, alongside the daily 10-minute guided meditation and Coffee Break for the Soul. New sleep stories, guided meditations and clinical hypnotherapy sessions arrive every week. Anchored, the companion app to Calming Anxiety, arrives on iOS on the 13th of August 2026 — with a dedicated Books at Bedtime section, offline listening for the nights the signal drops, and a built-in nightlight for the small hours. If this reading helped you sleep, please pass it to someone who lies awake, and leave a 30-second rating or review on Apple Podcasts. It is the single kindest thing you can do to help another tired person find us. Sleep well… and be kind.

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 10: Extract from the Diary of Dr Watson | Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime A slow, calming bedtime story for sleep and insomnia. Tonight, Chapter 10 of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, read aloud by Martin Hewlett — clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic, and host of the Calming Anxiety podcast. Dr Watson sets aside his letters to Sherlock Holmes and turns instead to his private diary. It is the 16th of October. The moor is banked in with rolling cloud, the rain drizzles against the windows of Baskerville Hall, and Watson confesses to a weight at his heart — a feeling of impending danger he cannot name. Barrymore the butler comes forward with a grievance, and then with something far more valuable: the memory of a single letter that reached Sir Charles on the morning he died, and the charred scrap of a postscript signed with two initials. L. L. Then the rain sets in, the light fails over the great mire, and a second stranger waits in a stone hut somewhere out on the moor. This is slow-paced, low-stimulation listening designed to quieten a racing mind at the end of the day. There is no jump, no startle, no sudden music — just a steady voice, a Victorian mystery, and a soft place to land. If you struggle to fall asleep, if your thoughts start their loudest work the moment your head hits the pillow, or if you simply want a gentle classic audiobook to drift off to, let this one carry you. Best listened to lying down, lights low, with the volume just a little quieter than feels necessary. You are not expected to reach the end.

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 9: The Light Upon the Moor by Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime If you can't sleep tonight, let this one carry you down. This is a long, slow sleep story for insomnia — Chapter 9 of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, read aloud at a deliberately unhurried pace for anyone lying awake with a racing mind at two in the morning. Read by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic. No sudden volume jumps, no startling music, no reason to open your eyes. You are not supposed to follow every word — drifting off halfway through is exactly the point. If you wake in the night, start it again wherever you like. In tonight's chapter, Dr Watson sends his second report from Baskerville Hall. A candle burns at a western window in the small hours. A light answers it from somewhere out on the moor. Watson and Sir Henry sit up through two long, dark vigils to find out who is signalling, and what they uncover on the moor is stranger than either of them expected — a cry on the wind, a chase over wet granite, and a silent figure standing black against the moon. Why classic detective fiction works so well as a sleep aid: the language is rich but the stakes are someone else's. Your brain is given somewhere gentle to rest that isn't your own worry list. That's the whole principle behind Books at Bedtime — a bedtime story for grown-ups who simply cannot switch off. Use this for insomnia relief, for anxiety at night, for shift-work sleep, or just as a quiet audiobook to fall asleep to. Pop it on low, on a sleep timer if you have one, and let the moor do the rest. The Hound of the Baskervilles was first published in 1902 and is in the public domain. Anchored, the Calming Anxiety app, arrives on iOS on 13 August 2026 — with the full Books at Bedtime library, offline listening for when the signal drops, and a soft built-in nightlight for the small hours.
