This soft spoken history/culture ASMR podcast/video is about Hever Castle. Join me for a relaxing virtual tour around a magical historic house in England, that has links to two Tudor queens of England Anne Boleyn and Anne of Cleves. This jewel of English art and architecture features both original Tudor interiors and gorgeous 20thcentury recreations by William Waldorf Astor, who owned the castle in the 1900s. Together, we'll discover magnificent portraits of Tudor monarchs, rare and beautiful books of hours, Oscarwinning period costumes, and paintings by the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.

Once life is back to normal(!), I thoroughly recommend that you visit Hever for itself plan your trip at: https://www.hevercastle.co.uk

Fans of Tudor history/theatre/literature might also be interested in Beyond Shakespeare's 'virtual explorations' of early English drama, which I've been participating in during lockdown. Discover more at:    / @beyondshakespeare  


#SoundsCurious is a youtube channel dedicated to audio adventures... as someone who experiences ASMR (and uses audio to help me sleep), my aim with these videos is to provide you with a deeply relaxing experience that will lower your heart rate, release stress, help you to drop off to sleep and trigger some head tingles in those that experience them. Balancing soft and calming vocals with informative content, my favourite topics for videos are history, culture, literature, the fine and decorative arts... and whatever else takes my fancy Subscribe to the Sounds Curious channel for updates on the latest videos and don't forget to say hello on social...
