Need more

Pleas do more episodes. This is the only thing that helps me go to sleep fast. I’ve listed to all 15 episodes at least 36 times.

Perfect for relaxing

I listen to this podcast daily: it helps me take a dee breath and sink into a state of relaxation. I use it for naps, deep sleep, or just to calm my mind. I recommend it for everyone!

Perfect weave

When I turned on a few friends to this amazing bedtime story concept by Adam and company via text, the question came back, is it creepy? or is it funny/ mellow? My answer, a little bit of both and then some, but not really creepy. Adams voice is soothing, but keeps you engaged just enough. The stories are light, fun and perfect improv for weaving into your subconscious.
