The Silk Road | Can’t Sleep? Follow the World’s Oldest Trade Routes
For centuries, the Silk Road connected distant regions across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. This episode explores the network of trade routes that carried goods, ideas, technologies, and cultures across thousands of miles. Along the way, you’ll hear about silk and other valuable goods, bustling trading cities, and the caravans that made long journeys across deserts and mountains. 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!
