Lantern and Ledger

Lantern and Ledger

Sleep stories for adults, told from real history.History told slow, for falling asleep to. Every episode takes one story — a legend, a mystery, a myth everyone thinks they know — and tells it four ways: the legend as it's told, what's debated, what's confirmed, and why it survived.Long, calm, and researched from public-domain archives. No ads, no jump scares, no music stings. Just a quiet voice and a story that doesn't need you awake for the end.A new episode roughly every five days.
