"Any podcast could be a sleep podcast, after all, if the listener is tired enough, or the host’s voice tickles all the right parts of the brain needed to relax. But part of the charm of choices like Sleep With Me and Sleep With Silk are how much effort and care has been spent on audio meant to be ignored. They may have invented the most generous form of media: art designed for audiences to abandon." -www.TheRinger.com

"Historically, lectors (known as lectores in Cuba) or readers in a cigar factory entertained workers by reading books or newspapers aloud, often left-wing publications, paid for by unions or by workers pooling their money. In the United States, the custom was brought to an end in the Tampa cigar makers' strike of 1931. The practice apparently originated in Cuba, and is still known there today, where there are about 200 lectores. Lectores were introduced in 1865 to educate and relieve boredom among cigar workers. Lectores, and their reading material, are chosen by the workers of the cigar factory. Lectores often take on extra-official roles and formerly acted as “spurs to dissent.” As of 2017, UNESCO is considering designating the profession a form of “intangible cultural heritage” - Wikipedia
