4.4 out of 5 stars from 124 ratings
  • Very enjoyable

    Lots of stories to listen to. The narrator has a soothing voice. I would give 5 stars except sometimes the background music is too loud or gets in the way of hearing the story. No other complaints; keep up the good work!

    The best podcast for falling asleep. I legitimately cannot fall sleep without tuning in. And even when I’m not going to bed, I listen because the stories are always genuinely interesting and there is a good variety. The narrator has an incredible voice that is perfect for story telling
