  • ICE Ads Before Bed

    I love this podcast, but hearing an ICE advertisement play right before bed is jarring, to say the least.

  • Disappointed in the new format

    This use to be my go to for relaxing and getting to sleep. Now I can’t listen to it any longer as the sound track after the story wakes me up. Same thing with others I have recommended your podcast to. I wish you would post in the time of the episode, how much time the story takes verses when the music kicks. This would allow us to set the timer accordingly to stop at the end of the story. Please consider this.
