Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect balance of vaguely-but-not-too interesting. If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T22:20:08.400786+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/boring-books-for-bedtime-readings-to-help-you-sleep-237351"},"episode":{"title":"All About Dogs, by Charles Henry Lane, Part 2","slug":"all-about-dogs-by-charles-henry-lane-part-2","published_at":"2026-01-19T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/boring-books-for-bedtime-readings-to-help-you-sleep-237351/all-about-dogs-by-charles-henry-lane-part-2","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/boring-books-for-bedtime-readings-to-help-you-sleep-237351","url":"https://boringbooksforbedtime.libsyn.com/all-about-dogs-by-charles-henry-lane-part-2","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/boringbooksforbedtime/All_About_Dogs_2.mp3?dest-id=810167","summary":"Tonight, let's snuggle up with man's best friend as we learn more about breeds of dogs.
