  • Sliding into slumber

    The stories, cadence, vocal tone and humor all work together for a relaxing, mind diverting program. It’s always exciting to have new episodes released, but I also have favorites too that I listen to several times.

  • Deadpan humor woke me up unfortunately

    I can’t fall asleep to this because the guy keeps sliding in deadpan jokes…then I laugh & wake up. I appreciate the effort but he should work on a standup routine instead
