  1. An Old Road

    3 DAYS AGO

    An Old Road

    Tonight, we’ll read a chapter titled “An Old Road.” from “A Rambler’s Lease” by Bradford Torrey, published in 1892. Torrey was an American ornithologist who wrote many stories about his experiences walking through woods while bird watching.  The preface he wrote to tonight’s book is paraphrased as follows: “The writer of this little book has found so much pleasure in other men's woods and fields that he has come to look upon himself as in some sort the owner of them. Their lawful possessors will not begrudge him this feeling, he believes, nor take it amiss if he assumes, even in this public way, to hold a rambler's lease of their property. His private opinion is that the world belongs to those who enjoy it.” — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    You Might Also Like: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality

    Introducing Succeeding Without Trying from How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality. Follow the show: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality We spend a lot of time on How God Works talking about how spirituality can offer tools to become better versions of ourselves.  And while learning to be happier, healthier and more resilient are all positive things to strive for, they can also lead us down a different path - an obsession with productivity and self-optimization… which can lead to a culture of trying to grind or life-hack our way through everything. But what if the secret to success lies in doing less, not more? On this episode, we’ll explore the Chinese concept of wu wei, effortless action. We'll talk to Edward Slingerland about how modern cognitive science has proven many early Chinese thinkers right, why wu wei is still relevant today, and how learning how not to try can help us forge a different path toward the good life. Edward Slingerland is a professor of religion at the University of British Columbia and the author of Trying Not To Try: Ancient China, Modern Science and the Power of Spontaneity. Find out more about his work, and his other books, on his website. Other texts we’ve discussed during this episode include:  -Flow, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi -Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, by Immanuel Kant -The Analects or Sayings of Confucius, attributed to Confucius -The Tao Te Ching or Laozi, attributed to Laozi -The Mencius, attributed to Mencius DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

  3. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea pt. 34

    6 DAYS AGO

    Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea pt. 34

    Tonight, we’ll read the conclusion to “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne. We first began Twenty Thousand Leagues in April of 2022. Cheers to you if you’ve listened along with us for the entire journey aboard the Nautilus. Each completed novel Snoozecast reads is available as a separate podcast if you’d like to listen through continuously. Just search for “Snoozecast Presents” and the title of the novel wherever you listen to podcasts. In the previous episode, Captain Nemo, filled with anger and vengeance, prepares to attack a warship that has been pursuing the Nautilus. Unfurling a black flag, he reveals his intent to sink the ship, driven by past personal losses. Despite attempts to dissuade him, Nemo is resolute, seeing the warship as his oppressor. Arronax and his companions, horrified but powerless, witness the tension as the Nautilus nears the ship. Nemo’s attack is swift and destructive, sinking the vessel. Afterwards, deeply affected, Nemo retreats to his room, where he mourns his lost family, leaving the crew in silence. We will pick up within chapter 22. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus! Learn more about your ad choices.

    At Sea

    Tonight, we’ll read excerpts from the book “Fresh Fields” by John Burroughs, published in 1896. The main section we will read is titled “At Sea”.  In "Fresh Fields," Burroughs takes us on a journey through his travels and observations of the natural world, both in America and abroad. This collection of essays showcases Burroughs' keen eye for detail and his deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of nature. John Burroughs was an American nature essayist, active in the U.S. conservation movement. Burroughs accompanied many personalities of the time in his later years, including Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford (who gave him an automobile), and Thomas Edison. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    The Rose and the Ring pt. 3

    Tonight, we’ll continue our journey through "The Rose and the Ring," by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1854. The previous episode aired last month. In the last episode, we learned how Princess Angelica's parents neglected to invite Fairy Blackstick to her christening, resulting in Gruffanuff, the strict doorman, being transformed into a brass knocker as punishment for his rudeness. Now, as we turn the page, we explore the lively relationship between Princess Angelica and Prince Giglio. Thackeray masterfully blends humor and fantasy, inviting us to witness the enchanting complexities of young love in this magical realm. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    Anne of Green Gables pt. 22

    Tonight, we’ll read the 22nd chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “Anne is Invited Out to Tea” In the previous chapter, Anne is excited about the new minister and his wife Mrs. Allan, who she decides is a kindred spirit. Marilla invites the Allans to tea and Anne is allowed to bake a cake. Anne flavors the cake with what she thinks is vanilla, but ends up being Anodyne Liniment. Although Anne assumes the worst and becomes bereft, Mrs. Allan kindly forgives the mistake. Anodyne Liniment was a topical pain reliever, not meant for consumption, let alone the flavoring of a cake. Ingredients may have included menthol, camphor and possibly turpentine, which would have created a bitter, medicinal and unpleasant flavor. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    The Cat Who Speaks Once a Year

    Tonight, for the last episode of our 6th annual “Spooky Sleep Story Series”, we shall read a Snoozecast original, “The Cat Who Speaks Once a Year.” about a young girl Lila Everwood who loves Halloween especially – because it’s the only night of the year her cat, Toby, can speak. We hoped you tuned in every Wednesday this month for sleep stories of the darker variety- like classic horror literature and ghost stories. If you prefer to avoid the mildly macabre we hope you’ll enjoy one of our many other stories available wherever you listen to podcasts. Every year Lila and Toby set out on Halloween on small adventures, solving magical mysteries and keeping their town of New Hope safe from mischievous spirits. However, this Halloween is different, as Toby seems tense, hinting that the force they’ll be up against this year has been waiting for centuries to reclaim the town… — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
