Trying to relax despite the screeching music. Stories, narration : top stars - Music : more like a nightmare, 0.
I’ve had to take two stars off because whilst I loved these podcasts when they first came out, now they have adverts and shorter episodes. I listen to these to fall asleep or should I say used to, as I can no longer fall asleep when the adverts come on! So annoying! It’s called ‘crime at bedtime’ so why have the adverts? It’s not relaxing at all.
Such a disappointment. I subscribed and it still had commercials. I just about fall asleep and a commercials blast on. Such a waste of money.
Can o just say that from an audile perspective this is DIVINE. Jack, your dulcet tones are blissful listening, as is the exquisite orchestral/chamber style music. Very few podcasters “get” the audile factor, they just present info in an audio media. Screeching, nasal, or horrendous vocal fry. Thank you Jack. This one really hits the nail on the head.
I was hooked!!!! Five stars
The only thing is I probably wouldn’t recommend this as a bedtime podcast.

A soothing true-crime storytelling show built for listening before bed. Host Jack Laurence guides listeners through real cases with calm, ritualized narration and occasional breathing exercises, blending investigative detail with a bedtime-friendly pace. Episodes cover a wide range of cases—from domestic crimes to cold cases and mysterious disappearances—often highlighting social context, investigative processes, and human impact while maintaining a relaxing tone. A notable edge is the consistent, lullaby-like delivery that aims to help listeners drift off, even as the topics remain gripping; however, adverts and pacing choices in some episodes have drawn mixed feedback from fans seeking uninterrupted sleep.
Overall, the program stands out... more
