“How can you say books like Flatland, HG Wells’s Short History of the World, The Voyage of the Bounty, The Origin of Species, or the writings of John Muir and HD Thoreau are boring?”

“How I appreciate the thought and effort you have put in to making this a successful podcast. Your soft, well modulated but not robotic voice offers readings in a healing, restorative manner. And, I love your well chosen topics. Often, I drift off listening to an interesting reading and must come...”Read full review »

“I am a classic insomniac. My brain is running amok, my lovely husband is happily snoring next to me, the cat has me trapped under my covers snoozing on my legs and I can’t get comfortable. All I do is fret, plan work life, grocery lists, stress about politics/climate change/housing...”Read full review »

“For me it’s the perfect mix of calming and not engaging as it is non-fiction books so there is never a real story. But the subject matter is not completely banal and interesting enough to people who like general knowledge/history to not be irritating while you are actually listening before you...”Read full review »

“Discovered this podcast about a year ago. Occasionally, my brain rush won’t let be sleep. When listening to this podcast, I rarely , if ever, make it to the end of one! Great tool in my non-pharmaceutical arsenal of nighty-night toolbox.”

“I have had trouble falling asleep for my entire adult life, and while various things have worked for a time, nothing has lasted. So far this podcast has knocked me out every single night. They’re soothing, somehow boring and intriguing at the same time, and—I cannot stress this enough—have NO...”Read full review »

“If, like me, you find the cloying, pornographic tones of ASMR make you want to scream, then this is not for you.
Regular podcasts, (where people speak with purpose) make me sleepy but then they have ads that shout at you suddenly. This podcast tries to be sleep-inducing but it is just...”Read full review »

This is the gold standard and it owes this to the incredibly soothing voice and delivery of the narrator in combination with gentle-ish books that can actually be quite interesting! Sometimes I actually try to stay awake to hear them, but that lulling...”Read full review »

“I rated it three stars because when I listen to it, I can hear these glitchy/fuzzy sounds in between every few words, I’m not sure what is, but it’s annoying. Over all, it’s really good podcast.”

“I really can’t rate this podcast highly enough! It works wonders on getting my brain to stop whirring at night and I’m often asleep before I get a chance to even remember what the reading was about. Even on the rare occasions it doesn’t put me to sleep straight away, all the the books usually...”Read full review »

I actually have delayed sleep phase disorder and usually it takes me an...”Read full review »

“You’ve arrived at *the* best sleep cast! Spent a lot of time (and sleepless nights) looking for a sleep cast. Some had readers with grating voices and rhythms. Others’ content was painfully boring. Handy’s voice and cadence is superbly soothing - warm, comforting, and gentle. The readings she...”Read full review »

“Falling asleep can be the hardest part of my day. Sharon Handy has saved my sanity. She has the most boring (and I mean this as the HUGEST compliment ever!), soft, calming voice ever! The Sears catalog, Emily post…
I’ve tried lots of podcasts to help me sleep, but BBfB is the very best!”
