Truly sleepy

Whenever I hear Otis say "hey" I know restful sleep is near. I adore this podcast.

This is my go to bedtime podcast

Well first of all it's criminal and crazy that I'm the first review. I'm sorry you got stuck with me but here we are. so I've been listening to this podcast for almost 2 years I'd say. I like to fall asleep to some sort of background noise and I'm trying my best to move away from TV shows. when I found this podcast I had been on the hunt for one with a soothing sound that wouldn't keep me up with Intrigue, this is the perfect balance. Otis has the most soothing and calming voice and somehow everything he reads is good even the dictionary. so if you're an insomnia suffer like myself or you just wanna mellow out this is a podcast I highly recommend. 10 out of 10. I really hope some one with better writing skill then myself leaves a additional review but happy to be the first.

It worked!

I have been having trouble sleeping. I selected this episode, made it through the ads, the talk about the artwork, pattern, etc, and maybe the first few sentences of the story. Woke up hours later!!!!!! Bingo!

one of my fav stories

There's so much goodness about this podcast. Where to start? His voice is a dream all on its own. You get to relax and listen to a story, or at least the beginning of it.

I have a bouncy mind when I'm trying to calm down for sleep; decades of chronic illness has really taken its toll on my mind and body.. I've been on lots of sleeping meds, but nothing works like the meditative cadence that Otis is a natural at.

I can happily listen to him read from the dictionary, so when there is a story, I enjoy it with double the relaxation and joy.

my deepest gratitude,
Anna from WA State

ads

I wish the ads were spoken in the same tones as the stories. I'll be nearly asleep, slip into the next episode and BAM loud ad before Otis' calming story.

Too many ads

I really like what you are trying to do but your ads are getting ridiculous. I will not be listening anymore.
