#5 Things You Wish You Didn't Know About Snow

The World's Most Boring Podcast - Bore Me to Sleep presents episode five: Things You Wish You Didn't Know About Snow. If you are looking for a sleep podcast, a bedtime story for adults, or simply something deeply monotone to listen to while you drift off, you have found the right place. This episode covers everything you never urgently needed to know about snow, including how snowflakes form around bacteria, the life and death of Wilson Bentley also known as Snowflake Bentley who photographed over five thousand snowflakes in Jericho Vermont, the many words for snow in Yupik and other Arctic languages, why snow is not actually white, the strange metallic snow on Venus, carbon dioxide snow on Mars, organic snowfall on Saturn's moon Titan, the muffled thunder of thundersnow, the dangerous beauty of depth hoar and avalanches, snow water equivalent and the snowpack as a water reservoir, the smell of snow and petrichor, the sport of skijoring with horses and dogs, and the ancient age of the water inside every snowflake. Produced by Audun Kvitland Rostad and read by artificial intelligence in the most boring way possible, this podcast is ideal for insomnia, sleep anxiety, racing thoughts at bedtime, or simply for people who enjoy falling asleep to calm, slow, meandering talk about things that are interesting enough to follow but not important enough to stay awake for. If you have ever searched for sleep meditation, boring podcast, bedtime podcast, rain sounds alternative, white noise alternative, or podcasts to fall asleep to, this is the podcast that will disappoint you into unconsciousness in the most pleasant way possible.

If you have a topic suggestion, a question, or something you simply need to say to someone who will read it slowly and without urgency, send it to worldsmostboringpod at gmail dot com. New episodes when they happen. Which is occasionally. Like snow in places that don't usually get snow. Unexpected, unremarkable, and oddly satisfying.
