The Last Heat

from Soporific · host Dr Tench Media

The summer is not quite finished. You can still feel it — in the warmth of the evening air, in the weight of the light, in the particular heaviness that comes at the end of a long season. The days are still long enough. The warmth is still real. But something has shifted. The light lands differently now. Series Two of Soporific begins here — at the end of summer, before the season turns. Free. Always. If Soporific helps you sleep, a rating or review on your podcast platform helps new listeners find The Dreamcatcher.

Insomnia Collection Vol. 004 by Various Loyal Books Soporific dullness is in the ear of the listener, and what's tedium incarnate to one person will be another person's passion and delight.

However, it is hoped that at least one from the range of topics here presented will lull the busy mind to a state of sweet sleep.Introduction by Cori Samuel Tasker Jevons: The Real Story by May Sinclair (1863 - 1946) LibriVox In this May Sinclair wartime masterpiece, dashing newsman Walter Furnival is an absurdly good catch: handsome, successful, athletic, intelligent, an upstanding epitome of manhood and rectitude. Tasker Jevons is a puny, preposterous, impossible-looking, bombastic sports writer, without one single redeeming social grace. Imagine the jealous mortification of Furny when his enchanting young typist and love interest Viola Thesiger chooses the clownish Jevons as a lover, seeing in him a remarkable inner beauty not evident to anyone but her and (as he grudgingly but magnanimously admits) the long-suffering and devoted Furnival. But despite the title, the central character of this extraordinary novel is not the redoubtable Jevons but the rebellious feminist Viola, determined against all odds not only to revolt against every enslaving conformity of her upbringing, but also to burn all her boats behind her, ruthlessly leaving herself no possibility of a return to the soporific decorum of her clo Insomnia Collection Vol. 007 Various Soporific dullness is in the ear of the listener, and what's tedium incarnate to one person will be another person's passion and delight.
