i listen to little women SO many times😂
idk what the deal is with people talking about the ads? in the beginning?
like just fast forward to wear the story starts if you’re so concerned?
this is one of my favorite podcasts to fall asleep too!
I listen to TSB every night to fall asleep. I rotate between the Jane Austens, Vilette and Cranford, with something new in between.
It’s perfect. The stories, the music and Elisabeth! Her voice is great. I love how she does every voices in a slightly different but non jarring way. It’s a talent.
More Jane Austen please 🙏🏼
I’ve listened to the Romance of Jedediah like a million times. That and the Velveteen Rabbit are a couple of my faves.
Reading through recently reviews, people are complaining about ads. Just pay for premium, Elizabeth deserves your subscription with her wondrous talents, you goobery people. Her voice is like liquid honey butter painted over feathery clouds on a sunny day lying in the grass.
baffling that reading a story about uk colonialism/murder is supposed to lull people to sleep.
I’ve been a listener since the beginning and I listen to an episode every night. I often check back on older episodes when waiting for new episodes. I have however noticed that quite a lot of the newer episodes are hard to fall asleep to due to loud moments like in the King Arthur episodes when characters are shouting at each other. It’s doesn’t sound calming and I find myself jolted awake because of the volume.
