Boring History For Sleep | The Most BRUTAL Jobs in Medieval Times That You Never Knew

Boring History For Sleep | The Most BRUTAL Jobs in Medieval Times
Welcome back to another slow-burning journey into the lesser-known corners of the past. Tonight, we’re not exploring kings or castles—we’re stepping into the muddy boots of the people who worked the hardest, smelled the worst, and were (mostly) forgotten by history.

From tanners wading through vats of rotting flesh, to gong farmers collecting what no one else dared touch, to plague corpse collectors dragging carts through silent, shuttered towns—this episode gently walks you through the most brutal and thankless jobs in medieval life. Some burned, some bled, some just smelled like death... but all of them kept society going.

So dim the lights, settle into your blanket, and let this quiet, mildly grim, deeply human narrative lull you into sleep. These aren’t horror stories. They’re quiet realities—gritty, slow, and surprisingly soothing.
