Tonight, I tell you the sleepy stories of four different ghost ships, together with their historical context and what happened to them. Two are fictional: the Flying Dutchman, a flute from the Age of Sails that would have traded between Amsterdam and the Spice Islands, and the Caleuche, a legendary ship on the island of Chiloe, Chile. Two are real: the Mary Celeste that mysteriously lost her crew in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Baychimo, which was abandoned but unexpectedly kept wandering for decades in the waters north of Canada and Alaska.

In this bedtime story, I take you on an underwater cruise to the various layers of the Earth's oceans. I talk about marine life, its evolution, and the conditions it had to adapt to. Types of animals or species we look at in more detail include jellyfish, coral, sharks, giant squids, sperm whales, the components of plankton, fishes from the bathyal zone and below, or the inhabitants of ecosystems around cold seeps and hydrothermal vents. We also make a bit of time travel, and I tell you about some of the largest creatures that dominated our seas from the Cambrian period to today: trilobites, anomalocaris, sea scorpions, placoderm fishes, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs or megalodons.

This bedtime story is about One Thousand and One Nights (also known as "Arabian Nights"). I tell you several famous stories from this compilation of Middle Eastern and North African folk tales and legends. These include the framing story with Scheherazade and Shahryar, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," "The Merchant and the Genie," "Sinbad the Sailor" and his seven voyages, and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp." I also tell you a little bit about where this compilation of stories comes from.

Tonight, I tell you three different stories:
- Area 51: How did this USAF base gain its reputation for being at the center of numerous conspiracies, including the dissimulation and reverse-engineering of alien technology? We take a look at what is documented, from its creation in 1955 as a test facility for the Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, to the study of foreign technology and the intense secrecy around the base's activities.
- Chaco Canyon is a large archaeological site in New Mexico, built more than a thousand years ago and over several generations by the Ancestral Puebloans. But it was obviously not just a residence settlement: What is the meaning, and the function of these alignments based on astronomical observation and cardinal directions, the care given to landscaping, or this enigmatic web of roads that radiate from the canyon?
- The Toba Catastrophe Theory hypothesizes that a supervolcano that erupted around 70,000 years ago in Indonesia would have dramatically affected the course of life on Earth, including mankind. What are supervolcanoes? What is it based on? What could have happened?

This is a soft-spoken science bedtime story about Earth: its formation, its structure, and how mankind perceived the World before its exploration and the space age. In this video, I tell you about what we know or suppose of Earth's formation in the solar system, its geology, its internal structure from the crust to the core, and how all these interact. We discuss plate tectonics and continental drift, the chemical elements our planet is made of, its temperature, its future in several billion years, its magnetic field and how it could be generated by its metallic core, and many more things.

In these three new historical mysteries, I tell you about the Pythia, the High Priestess of Apollo in Delphi, who for more than a millennium delivered sought-after prophecies in a state of frenzy - but the Oracle may have been more ancient than Classical Greece. The second story is about the myth of changelings, that is to say newborns, or young children that would have been exchanged by fairies, or trolls in the Scandinavian version. Why this belief, and how did it appear? I also added a touch of true crime with the story of Bridget Cleary, a woman murdered in 1895 because she was believed to be a changeling. The third story takes us from Russia and Germany to the USA in the 20th Century: who were all these women claiming to be Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the last Tsar of Russia, miraculously alive? This modern mystery found an answer thanks to DNA, I tell you how, and a little bit about Eugenia Smith or Anna Anderson.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about the History of the Norsemen in the Middle Ages. At the end of the Eighth Century, they embarked on raids, explorations, and conquests farther and farther from their homelands in Scandinavia. This took them as far east as the Volga River in Russia and Byzantium, and as far west as America, even though they did not stay there for long. They founded colonies such as Iceland or Vineland in Newfoundland, Canada, created new states such as the Kievan Rus', and settled in regions like Yorkshire or Normandy. We explore the reasons why they suddenly became outward-looking, what their societies were like, and how things unfolded until Christianization and the formation of larger kingdoms in Scandinavia (in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark), that put an end to the Viking Age.

We will discover the story of Maui, his fight with goddess Hine, the origins of the gods starting with Rangi and Papa from the Maori tradition, more divinities (Tane of the forest and the birds, Tangaroa of the sea, Tawhirimatea of storms and winds...) and the creation of men and women.

Tonight, I take you on a journey along the Silk Road. We explore how and why this route or network from China to the Mediterranean opened at the time of the Han Dynasty and Ancient Rome.
Given the distances and costs, long distance trade was limited to light, expensive and exotic goods, like silk, glassware, fine crafts, perfumes and spices. It adapted to changes over centuries: the rise and fall of dynasties in China, the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the struggles of Byzantium, the Muslim conquest, the Mongol invasion, the rise of Italian merchant republics...
I also tell you about how the Black Death epidemic spread along the Silk Road in the 14th Century and the rediscovery of land routes to the Far East by European travelers of the Middle Ages, especially Marco Polo.

In this story, I take you on an introduction to fungi: what the definition of their kingdom is about—they are neither plant nor animal—the mind-blowing variety of sizes, shapes, and the appearance they can take, and their associations with other life forms. I also tell you about their importance to ecosystems, what happens when they produce mushrooms, and the various ways humans use them, ranging from a source of food to yeasts, molds, or "magic mushrooms."

In this soft-spoken sleepy story, I tell you the stories of four ghost towns in America:
- North Brother Island, New York, a small uninhabited island that once had a large hospital and kept the infamous Typhoid Mary in quarantine for over two decades.
- Bodie, California, a well-preserved mining town that boomed in the 1870s thanks to the discovery of gold deposits. I tell you a little about the California Gold Rush, Express companies like Wells Fargo, and the decline of this once-thriving town.
- Real de Catorce, Mexico, another mining town that can only be accessed via an underground tunnel and is a pilgrimage place for Huichol people and Christians.
- Villa Epecuén, Argentina, a lakeside resort that was submerged and spent 2 decades under salty water, until the water withdrew and revealed an eerie landscape.

We will talk about the theories regarding the age and formation of the planet's rings, and eventually dive into the planet itself to see what a "gas giant" is made of.

In this episode, I take you on a new exploration journey, to discover what science can tell us about sleep and dreams: What happens when we sleep? What are the phases of sleep and the difference between quiescent sleep and paradoxical/REM sleep? Why do we need it? What are intermediary states of consciousness like sleepwalking or lucid dreaming? I also tell you about the origins of dreams, their possible functions, and how neurobiology, psychoanalysis, psychology, religion, or literature approached them.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about various Greek myths. This is a compilation episode, in which I've combined multiple prior episodes into one long-play episode to help you fall asleep. These are the Greek myths we will discover tonight.
- The Trojan War, as told in Homer's Iliad and other sources;
- The Odyssey, also mainly based on Homer's work;
- Pandora and her jar (or box), which according to Hesiod contained countless plagues that she let escape, providing a backstory for the existence of suffering in human life;
- The tragedy of the Danaïdes and Sisyphus, who were sentenced to an eternity of useless work;
- Icarus, the young man who flew too close to the sun and fell.

In this bedtime story, I tell you about two different mysterious stories and what I make of them. - Bigfoot (or the Sasquatch) is one of the most famous cryptids in the world, together with the Loch Ness Monster and its Himalayan cousin the Yeti. We will discover where this creature comes from, how it got its name, and why it remains so elusive. - The Bell Witch Haunting is a legend that originated in Robertson County, Tennessee, and inspired a lot of fiction while entering the folklore of the American South. What do we know about this story?

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about four Greek myths:
· Pandora and her jar (or box), which according to Hesiod contained countless plagues that she let escape, providing a backstory for the existence of suffering in human life. This myth works as a "theodicy" (a backstory or an argument that explains why evil is part of the human condition when God(s) would have the power to avoid it). It is also connected to the biblical character of Eve, and scratching the surface by looking at different versions of this myth reveals a more ambivalent figure.
· The tragedy of the Danaïdes, daughters of King Danaus condemned to a futile task forever for the murders of their husbands.
· Sisyphus, the king of Corinth, who was sentenced to another eternity of useless work for defying Zeus and cheating death. He was punished for his hubris: the overconfidence that made him lose touch with the reality of his condition.
· Icarus, the young man who flew too close to the sun and fell, is another example of hubris.

In this new science/astronomy sleep story, I take you to the Jovian system and tell you about Jupiter's Moons and Jupiter itself.

This bedtime story is about the mythical Orient Express service and the history of railways. Discover where the Orient Express came from: the story takes us to the early development of trains in Great Britain, the railroad mania of the 19th Century, the conquest of the Far West, the invention of luxury sleeping cars in the US by George Pullman, and the creation of the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits. For almost a century, the Orient Express was a link between two corners of Europe and connected capitals from the Belle Epoque to the 1970s, adapting to wars, the redrawing of frontiers, political changes, and technical revolutions. Relive this epic that inspired artists, adventurers, and writers like Agatha Christie.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest (and only) survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as defined by the Greeks in Antiquity. But when, how, and why was such an extravagant structure built, more than four thousand years ago? In tonight's story, we explore a page of the history of Ancient Egypt, discuss the meaning of this work for its builders, discover the construction techniques of the time, and evoke what we know of the life of pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty.

This soft-spoken sleep talk tells the story of the Aeneid and explains its historical and political significance. Join me and we will follow Aeneas on his adventures from Troy, which he had to endure with his son Ascanius and his father Anchises, under the protection of his mother Venus, to the Latium in Italy where war had to be fought before Rome could be founded. Aeneas benefits from Venus' protection and Jupiter's benevolence, but hostile deities like Juno will do anything to stop him. On the way, we will visit Thrace, Delos, Crete, Epirus, Sicily, Carthage and its queen, Dido, and even the Underworld.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about historical and scientific mysteries and their context:
- The Voynich Manuscript, a strange codex apparently from the early 15th Century, written in an unknown language.
- The Phaistos Disc, an artifact discovered in Crete in the ruins of a Minoan palace, with what looks like a script, but that has always resisted attempts at deciphering it.
- The Sailing Stones from the Racetrack Playa, California, a rare geological phenomenon that was finally explained over the past few decades.

This bedtime story is about medicine and healing since the Neolithic. I will tell you about Ancient Mesopotamia and the first diagnosis and prescriptions, Ancient Egypt and the figure of Imhotep, India, and the principles of Ayurveda, or Chinese Medicine including Moxibustion and Acupuncture. We also take a look at medicine in Ancient Greece and Rome, including important figures like Hippocrates and Galen, and how this legacy passed on and was further developed in the Islamic World, Byzantium, and Medieval Europe. Then we reach the Renaissance and the steps that would lead to an increasingly scientific approach to medicine and the many discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries, that came with important social change and professionalization (I tell you at the end about scientists like Pasteur or Koch, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing).

In tonight's story, I discuss the long history of Stonehenge, from the first works on the site by people from the Windmill Hill culture around 3100 BC, to the multiple works and rearrangements that took place until 1600 BC. After this, Stonehenge continued to live a life of its own and was adopted by the druids, became a legendary monument, and revealed extraordinary secrets since the 20th century. After Stonehenge, I also tell you of Skara Brae, a very well preserved neolithic village in the Orkney Islands (Scotland), and we explore its 5000-year-old houses.

This episode details three different historical mysteries. First, we will relive the voyage of the Donner Party, a group of migrants who traveled from Illinois to California in 1846, but did not manage to reach their destination before the winter and had to set camp in the Sierra Nevada, until they were rescued in 1847. Second, we will travel to Oak Island, a small island in Nova Scotia that has become famous as a place where a fabulous treasure or even historical artifacts would be hidden. Finally, I will tell you of the Bermuda Triangle, the concept from the 1950s and 60s that a large area of the Atlantic, East of Florida, saw too many disappearances of ships and aircraft.

For tonight's sleep-inducing talk, I invite you for a long moment in the woods. We explore the origins of plants and how they evolved from microscopic algae to mosses, ferns, seed plants with or without flowers. I also discuss the life cycle of trees, what they are made of, and many aspects that often go unnoticed such as their ability to exchange signals, connect by their roots, develop mutualistic relationships or adapt to different environments. We review extraordinary trees too: Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world, Methuselah, the oldest independent tree (both in California); the Arbol de Tule, the stouter known tree (Mexico), and extremely old clonal colonies like Old Tjikko in Sweden and Pando in Utah.
