Sleepy Philosophy Radio is a long-form philosophy podcast for sleep, study, and quiet contemplation. New episodes appear weekly on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Every episode is a single sustained essay covering one philosopher or one concept. Episodes are built from the primary texts, reliable biographies, and the historical context in which a thinker lived and worked. They are narrated calmly and slowly, with no music, no banter, and no rushed summaries: the format gives the ideas room to breathe. The show was created for listeners who wanted philosophy that took its time. It has grown into a small library of episodes spanning the Stoics, Kant and the Enlightenment, Continental existentialists, Buddhist and Islamic traditions, and the long literary-philosophical tradition that runs through Dostoevsky, Borges, and Ligotti. Companion learning paths, philosopher pages, and a curated book library make the catalogue navigable for both casual listeners and students of philosophy.
