Tonight you are a traveler lodged in a stone han near the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, almost four hundred years ago, on a clear cold evening in the greatest city in the world. You watch the covered bazaar close gate by gate at dusk, then walk out into a city where, by law, every person abroad after dark carries their own lantern, so the night streets become a field of slow moving stars. A seller of boza calls in the lane and you drink a gently warmed cup with cold hands. You spend an hour in a coffeehouse in its first great century, with a storyteller and the quiet click of backgammon, then walk home along the Golden Horn past the tethered caiques of the ferrymen while the muezzins' last call is answered from hill to hill across the water. The han gate is barred behind you, the courtyard fountain runs, and a brazier of coals and a thick quilt are waiting in your room.\nYou will hear the stone hush of the han courtyard, a small fountain running at its center, coals settling in the brazier, a plane tree whispering over the roofs, and the far slow footsteps of the watchman with his swinging lantern.\nThis is a three hour sleep story. The narration ends softly in the third hour, and then the quiet courtyard continues to the end. Black screen friendly.\nChapters:\n0:00 Welcome\n7:14 The City At Dusk\n11:36 The Bazaar Gates Close\n16:43 The Lantern Law\n21:41 The Night Watch\n25:38 The Boza Seller\n30:08 The Coffeehouse\n37:10 The Storyteller\n42:08 The Quiet Hour\n46:59 Down To The Water\n51:00 The Caiques At Rest\n55:50 The Field Of Moving Stars\n1:00:10 The Last Call\n1:05:40 The Han Gate\n1:09:52 The Fountain And The Cat\n1:14:33 The Brazier And The Quilt\n1:19:45 The City Settles\n1:22:32 Drifting\nListen with the video on YouTube: add the episode link.\nNew episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6pm Eastern.
