Urantia | Sleep-Talking Cult Leader: The Urantia Book & Celestial Seasonings Tea

from Things I Learned Last Night · host Jaron Myers and Tim Stone

Ever wonder about the story behind your favorite Sleepy Time tea? Discover the shocking connection between Celestial Seasonings and a 2,000-page book allegedly channeled from a sleeping man. In the early 1900s, a respected doctor made a discovery that would lead to a 2,000-page religious text—and eventually, a popular tea brand found in grocery stores across America. The story of Urantia and Celestial Seasonings blends religion, science, sleep talking, and spiritual mystery into one of the strangest faith movements of the 20th century. This is the story behind the Urantia Book, the movement it created, and how it connects to the tea you may already have in your kitchen. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
