What is Sleep With Philosophy?

Big ideas, softly spoken.

Unwind with the lives and ideas of the world’s great thinkers—told softly, slowly, and with care. Each episode offers a gentle journey through the reflections of a single philosopher: from the quiet ethics of Confucius to the inner doubts of Descartes, the radical hope of Spinoza to the solitude of Simone Weil. Whether you're curious about philosophy or simply seeking calm at day’s end, Sleep with Philosophy offers a peaceful place to listen, wonder, and let go.
