Show Notes

Wind down tonight with the quiet history of Guinness — the archbishop's brewer, the four acres nobody wanted, and the lease signed for nine thousand years. Soft-spoken storytelling over a gentle fireside sound, made for falling asleep to.

Our promise: we never interrupt the story. Any adverts only ever appear before it begins — never in the middle. It's how we keep the fire lit.

A sleep story — ideal for sleep meditation, relaxation, or simply drifting off to the tale of Dublin's black stuff. Chapter markers are available in the video edition on YouTube.
