NOTE: This is a SUPER soft whisper. You will NOT be able to understand every word. Yes, that is deliberate. No, I will NOT speak up. This is a big fat book. If you complain in the comments about me needing to speak up, I will come smack you upside the head with it. This video features a very, VERY soft whispered reading of various sections of an art history book. I jump around from one page to another frequently on purpose so you won't try too hard to listen to what I'm saying.
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
