    Thank you all so much for listening to season 2 of The NoNap Podcast!

    When Erin Lillis gave me the thumbs up to continue a second season for them,

    I was incredibly excited, and a bit overwhelmed!

    Many, many hours of work were put into this by so many talented writers, 

    readers, sound engineers, artists, and musicians!



    I've been listening to so many of these folks' work on The NoSleep Podcast

    and others for, what, maybe a decade now? To be able to work alongside

    so many great voices I've been hearing as I travel, clean, and live my life,

    it's very surreal, and I have nothing but respect and gratitude for them all,



    From the bottom of my dark, spooky heart, thank you to:

    Matt Bradford, 

    Erika Sanderson

    David Ault

    Nichole Goodnight

    and

    Andrew Parker



    Please forgive me if I missed anyone!



    And last but not least, Erin Lillis aka Nanny Cadavra, without whom, none of this

    would have happened!

    Thank you for helping to bring the spooks to twenty thousand kids so far, 

    and taking a chance on me.



    Until next time, skip -all- the naps!

Can’t get enough

We can’t get enough of these! My husband and I always listen to The NoSleep Podcast and it’s so cool that our daughter can join in now, too, with age appropriate spooky stories!
