This episode explores how colored glass is made, how artisans assemble intricate windows from thousands of individual pieces, and why churches, cathedrals, and public buildings have long used light itself as a storytelling medium. Along the way, you’ll hear about medieval workshops, famous stained glass traditions, and the surprisingly complex techniques required to turn sand, metal oxides, and sunlight into enduring works of art. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
