Tonight, Frank tells the slow, quiet story of the Severn bore — one of the great natural wonders of the English landscape, and one of the most soothing things imaginable to drift off to.

Twice a day, on roughly a hundred and thirty days each year, the tide refuses to stop at the river's mouth. It pushes inland, upstream, against the current — a moving wall of water travelling all the way from the Bristol Channel to the city of Gloucester. The Severn bore has been happening, reliably, for longer than anyone has been around to write it down.

Frank takes you through the whole quiet story: the funnel-shaped estuary that makes it all possible, the thirteen-metre tidal range that ranks second only to Canada's Bay of Fundy, the long Atlantic wave that compresses from seven hundred miles wide to less than five, the villages of Minsterworth and Sharpness and Hock Cliff where the bore takes its shape, and the gentle negotiation of wind, moon, and barometric pressure that determines when — and how tall — each wave will be.

This is a sleep podcast for anyone who loves slow, unhurried stories about the natural world, old geography, and the quiet persistence of things that have been happening long before us. No drama, no urgency — just Frank's steady voice, the river, and the tide moving calmly upstream in the dark.

Perfect for insomnia, winding down after a long day, or simply finding a peaceful place to rest. A calming episode to help you relax and fall asleep.
