Thank you so much for this!

Been having severe trouble sleeping, falling as well as staying asleep and even purchased a sleep audiobook. This podcast (and especially the amazing performance of the host - cadence, speed, tone of voice....) is not only better, but in a completely different league. Thank you so much!

Not a fan

Lovely voice though and I can see the stories will appeal to most, just not for me as I found them hard to follow and did not aid me for an easy to fall asleep! I’d recommend giving it a go though!

Great podcast to fall asleep to

Thank you for helping me fall asleep at night. I love the soothing tone of voice and the stories to choose from. I Iisten at a lower speed even, I find it more calming. I am a fan of the Alice stories, but also like Austen's books. I hope more chapters of Emma will come soon! The Secret Garden episodes are also a favourite.

I love listening to this podcast, especially the Far From The Madding Crowd and Mrs Dalloway episodes which I go back to often.

I love these stories!

I listen to this podcast every night whilst falling asleep now. I find the tone of voice and everything just perfect - it's quiet, soothing but still interesting. Thanks for this excellent work.
