I swear TV was a lot calmer back then. I've seen a lot of old TV commercials as well, and they're so different from how they are now. No loud ear-blasting music, no one yelling loudly to tell you to go buy the product, they just calmly tell you what they're advertising and how to use it. Way less stressful.

James Vincent Cunningham,
 (August 23, 1911 – March 30, 1985),
 was an American poet, literary critic and teacher.

@RyanSchweitzer77

Been re-playing this a lot, its giving me heavy ASMR tingles---such a pleasantly relaxing recital of poems.  Mr. Cunningham's voice is perfect and apropos for verbally reciting what he's written.  And the other quiet sounds (like the clothes and paper rustling, and the slight creaks of the chairs they're sitting in) enhance the ASMR-ness greatly. :)

As a sometimes poet myself, his poems here are great, would love to track down some of his published works.

@mr.marvelasmr5872

He sounds like he's trying to tell a scary story to kids around a campfire.

@damvid21

His accent is very Irish, his father was Irish but he was not. It does add something to the recital, adds age and mournfulness to it (Ireland has an ancient and dark history).

@darrellborland119

Very relaxing to watch and listen to...Thanks.

@danettelambert4284

YES perfect timing ❤

@stormwulf117

I always thought the "Old Wine" scene from 1931's Dracula was the earliest known ASMR on film or video.

Unintentional Media. Is this channel a company now? That’s great to really grow this beyond just a YouTube channel

The Thumbnail is perfect.

@michaellance5700

Love the rustling noises in between poems. What’s this “deep voice” reference? His voice is high tenor at best—- not an unpleasant voice, but certainly not deep, or even approaching deep. But the best asmr aspect (other than a rare and occasional “wet” voice sound) is the clothes rustling noise.

@tomdonahoe932

I am oddly fascinated at this type of very obscure, old ASMR. Good for you for unearthing this. Can you get some more? I'll be glad to help
