The moth! My only issue with it is that some of them are funny and sudden laughter wakes me up!

My two favorites are Swindled and Casefile! Both single, monotonous voices, perfect for sleep (but they are true crime, so there’s that)

In Our Time. Genuinely interesting, but also lovely calm British academics talking about a topic without an audience/laugh track/backing music. Many years’ worth of episodes, and all sorts of topics- for me, this is both a waking and a sleep podcast.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA
