Good Wives ch. 16

Tonight, we’ll read the next chapter of “Good Wives” written by Louisa May Alcott titled “Lazy Laurence”. This is also known as the second half of the “Little Women” novel and is considered the 39th chapter as part of that work as a whole. In the last episode, we followed Meg’s life as a new mom of twins, and her struggles to balance her roles of mother with wife. The motherly side had taken completely over for months and her relationship with John was more distant than either of them liked. Luckily, Meg sought the good advice from her mother, and found creative ways to find time for not just her husband, but her self, along with her babies. Tonight’s chapter shifts the focus back to Laurie, who, after his time in Europe, has settled into a state of idleness and self-indulgence. Still nursing the wounds of Jo’s rejection, he lounges about, feeling purposeless despite his wealth and charm. He has fallen into the role of a "lazy" young man, avoiding serious work or ambition, much to the disapproval of Amy. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

St. Valentine's Day

Tonight, we’ll read St. Valentine's Day; or, The Fair Maid of Perth by Sir Walter Scott, as part of the Waverly novels. St. Valentine's Day was one of Scott’s later works, published in 1828, and it draws on real Scottish history—including the infamous Battle of the North Inch. The heroine, Catharine Glover, is based on a real legend about a glovemaker’s daughter in Perth. Medieval glove-making was a surprisingly respectable trade—and could be likened to haute couture of the 14th century. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

The Palace Under the Waves

Tonight, we’ll read “The Palace Under the Waves” found in the book “Swiss Tales” published in 1920. We will also read a story called “The Fairy in the Cuckoo Clock.” The first story features undines, a category of elemental beings associated with water, stemming from the alchemical writings of Paracelsus. Later writers developed the undine into a water nymph in its own right, and it continues to live in modern literature and art through such adaptations as Danish Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid". Paracelsus believed that each of the four classical elements – earth, water, air and fire – is inhabited by different categories of elemental spirits, liminal creatures that share our world: gnomes, undines, sylphs and salamanders respectively. He describes these elementals as the "invisible, spiritual counterparts of visible Nature ... many resembling human beings in shape, and inhabiting worlds of their own, unknown to man because his undeveloped senses were incapable of functioning beyond the limitations of the grosser elements." — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Persuasion pt. 15

Tonight, we shall read the next part to “Persuasion”, the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen, and published in 1817. The story concerns Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman whose family moves in order to lower their expenses, by renting their home to an Admiral and his wife. We will pick up at the tail end of chapter 14, where we ended last, and where Anne and Lady Russell visit the Musgroves for Christmas. The two have very different opinions on the gathering. Anne finds the chaotic but cozy antics of many young children pleasant and soothing. Lady Russell, on the other hand, finds it overly loud and agitating. Here, we are watching Anne’s inner growth, her evolving relationships, and her growing clarity about her feelings and the people around her. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Cup of Gold

Tonight, we’ll read the opening to an edited version of John Steinbeck’s “Cup of Gold”, a 1929 historical fiction novel based loosely on the life and death of 17th century privateer Henry Morgan. The piece begins in a small Welsh valley, where winter arrives with a biting chill, setting the stage for reflections within the Morgan household. Young Henry, yearning for adventure, listens eagerly to the tales of Dafydd, a former farmhand turned seafarer, who returns from the Indies.

I just found this podcast a few weeks ago and it is absolutely wonderful! Great stories and soft gentle voices. I use sleep stories to fall asleep but more importantly to fall back to sleep. I am a light sleeper so going back to sleep is a problem for me. Victoria and Nick have created an amazing podcast and I will be listening to them regularly. Thank you for helping me and others to get a good nights sleep!
I am so grateful!

As a retired senior citizen (Wow! Really?) listening to Snoozecast is an act of self-love. I choose to hear sweet voices and lovely stories rather than allow the day, the years to bounce around in my head and keep me awake. I’m grateful to the story readers who imbue this podcast with kindness.
