Lull Me to Sleep with Sweet Recipes

I’ve been listening for quite some time - first drawn to the podcast by the readings of the dictionary. It helps quiet the mind after a long day. But my favorite by far has been the two readings on cooking/baking! I don’t know what it is, but I just keep listening to them over and over. I have yet to fully listen to one because I fall asleep so quickly. Please more cookbooks and recipes!

Uhh.. Disappointing

“Sleepy” stumbles out of the gate with distracting verbal tics. The narrator's frequent "uh" and "um" interruptions in the introduction set a disappointing tone. As the story unfolds, the monotone delivery fails to create the calming atmosphere expected for a sleep story podcast. Rather than drifting into dreamland, I find myself wide awake, grappling with the narrator's distracting speech patterns. For a more seamless journey to slumber, I’d look elsewhere.
