The Travels of Marco Polo, Reading 1 (ASMR Quiet Reading for Relaxation & Sleep)

Tonight we journey into the mists of history with Marco Polo and his uncles as they journey across the world to the court of Kublai Khan and back again. The 13th century has never been so dreamy.

Hey, The French Whisperer just shouted you out back, directing listeners here while they wait for his Ghengis Khan video. Woot!

[crystalsister]

Hi there. I'm here because The French Whisperer suggested your channel & linked to this story! It's so cool to see people giving each other a boost like this!

[muldenthalle]

I'm so glad you and TFW are colaborating - you are two of the best content creators out there. I really hope this channel goes from strength to strength!

[andyfrank]

Yes! Another educational sleep artist! And, you use peaceful music behind your voice like Let's Find Out. So good.

[Mural]

Amazing how little I knew about Polo despite hearing his name so often! Thank you for the reading

[XavierBeauchampTremblay]

I've been looking for something like this for a while!

[NathanASMR]

Welp I see others have already posted here but I saw your channel mentioned on the French Whisperer and I had to come support and check out your stuff! Very fascinating subject matter and your voice is extremely polished and professional. I really enjoyed this, plus you had some very relaxing visuals as well! Really great to find you and hear your awesome ASMR videos...I'm a huge history guy here!

This is a good idea and thanks for making it. Just a couple of suggestions from a perennial insomniac - if you could make these longer or contain them within playlists so I can listen for 3 to 4 hours that'd be great.
Another suggestion, these merely of taste. Leave out the introductions and so on - and timestamp the video so we can get past shoutouts and so on and customise our listening as required.
Timestamps would be really useful - say if you want to include a lengthy introduction (such as in this book), some people could listen to it and others skip by, as according to their tastes.
Thanks again for this concept and for doing this.

Fancy reading The Huizong Emperor by Patricia Buckley? It's a big tome though, worth it imo

[parisdegrassie]

travels of marco polo is anything but boring! lol but thanks for the upload

[stefanalexanderlungu]

Are you going to continue the reading?

[wiseowl]

Why speaking about boring books? Is it modesty, like saying that you don t take your aproach of knowledge too seriously? I don’t think none of this is boring.

I like the concept of your channel but the tone in which you read just annoys me, therefore i can't fully relax. Maybe it's not for me.
