I enjoy this podcast, and skip the ads in the beginning, like many others do. I find Taesha’s voice soothing, but as many others have posted, it’s just too fast to be relaxing. I adjust the speed to .75.

I found recently this podcast and listen to it when I find Nothing Much Happens is not quite distracting enough. I love Taesha’s soothing voice. The stories are perfect for shutting off my thoughts until I fall asleep. The ads are in the beginning but once the story starts, the volume is perfect....Read full review »

Not sure who is reading me to sleep, but it’s called “JUST SLEEP”…so a loud putrid ad just as I’m about to doze off defeats the purpose. No thanks. 🥴

These have been a life saver for me. I listen to them every night. And have my favourites that I keep on ipod even when I try new ones. The only thing I can say is that some are read very fast. The ones that are read at a slower speed are much easier to fall asleep to.

Before I found this podcast, I used to spend ages trying to find one to listen to. It doesn’t have a description, isn’t too loud and is just perfect! 🫶

I have no idea how this works but this is a really good podcast. Relaxation me and I’m asleep straight away. Thank you

Very much enjoy the voice, reading style, and story selection. It really helps me wind down and fall asleep. Thank you for continuing to read these classics. Excited for the Virginia Woolf episode.
EssEm09X via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/24
I love these stories and listen to them in the bath while winding down. I like the pace and readers voice. I always know the ads will come at the beginning as the host explains each episode. Most unpaid podcasts have ads, it’s how the host makes a little bit of money usually to barely cover...Read full review »

I was so excited when I heard her low, deep speaking voice. But then she was speaking so fast! I can’t turn my brain off to sleep if I’m constantly trying to keep up with what she’s saying. Please, just speak low, slowly and softly. Why is it so hard to find a sleep podcast that has this?
Sleepy knitter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/23
Why is the narrator reading so fast?? Had to turn it off because it sounds like she’s reading on 1.25x speed. It’s so bizarre.
yeeunnie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
The host has the most beautiful, relaxing voice, but I find she speaks a little too quickly. It ends up speeding my mind up rather than slowing it down. I will trying playing it at 0.75 x speed.

I have tried so many different storytelling sleep podcasts, and this is my favourite. The stories are interesting, which keeps me focused on them rather than other thoughts when trying to sleep. I used to really struggle to fall asleep quickly, but with these podcasts I’m asleep in 15 minutes!...Read full review »

Worst sleep story podcast. Loud ads!!!!
Cactus Octopus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/23
I do love this podcast and to hear all the old stories. The narrator has a lovely calm voice and perfect to go to sleep to 😴💕 I only wish that for the more shorter stories - such as animal farm, that the caster would go back to them every so often until the book is finished… I hope this is taken...Read full review »

The content is good but the reading is not at all relaxing. It should be much slower to help you fall asleep and possibly a softer voice would help.
montrealann via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/27/23
The ads that interrupt the podcast have abrupt loud percussion that literally woke me back up and startled me. Kind of defeats the purpose!
PonyFly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/23
The stories are great, and her voice is soothing, but the ads are so LOUD that it destroys the effect. I find it really hard to calm down after a shouty ad. Please lower the volume!
KMCinGA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/23
I listen 👂 to the podcast on my iPod touch. 1. The stories are long. 2. It’s soothing and relaxing 😌 3. The intro is very nice 👍
unicorn3567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/23
Conceptually good, good content, but the halting way of speaking, to me, is over the top. It’s more suited to creepy stories than soothing sleepy ones. Having said that, I do listen and appreciate it for what it means to be.
L SaraBell via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/02/23
On my phone it kinda sounds sped up and robotic, what speed should I listen to it on too? Love this podcast though. -very confused listener
lover emoji 1432 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/23
The flow of reading is stilted and monotone. The intonation is off, and the pauses don’t fall at a natural point within sentences. I tune into this and find it harder to sleep!
Georgia_Faye via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/24/23
I guess these classic stories are copyright free, which is why she picks to read them, so I can’t blame her too much. But the stories chosen seem to reinforce patriarchal values, celebrate colonialism, and are, for the most part, written by white men. I’d rather not reinforce these perspectives...Read full review »

Love her voice and the way she reads her stories, has never failed to put me asleep and let my mind focus on the lovely story, I wish there was a easier way to find the other parts of story’s. I was so excited to listen to black beauty but found out she had read 7 chapters before, I couldn’t find...Read full review »

I have issues with getting my mind to quiet enough to sleep and have tried meditation, lofi beats etc. Nothing has worked as well as this podcast, in particular The Wind in the Willows which is a beloved childhood story I used to be read as a child at bedtime.
Leanne Gallacher via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/14/23
This podcast is the first podcast I’ve ever listened to. I really enjoy it. As a child, my dad read me bedtime stories from Childcraft encyclopedia. Now, I often wake up in the middle of the night with my days worries on my mind. This podcast has the same effect of my dad reading me a bedtime...Read full review »

I tried this sleep aid but found the voice so off putting instead of dropping off to sleep I found myself deleting all the episodes and unsubscribing on the spot. Maybe it’ll be better for someone else but it’s not for me.
Seasidercol via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/19/23
Hmm
I love the stories. But I can’t get passed her robotic voice. It’s extremely off putting
black!amond via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/23
I’m able to drift right off to sleep. Thank you so much for your podcast.
Kristybear72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
I’ve been using this sleep cast for over a year now and took a small break now that my schedule has changed. I was surprised to come back and try a sleep story and hear ads! This podcast was a godsend when I was experiencing insomnia. I’ve even recommended it to several friends who also love it....Read full review »

I'm not even through a single episode, I just had to stop and express my gratitude for a calm, strong female voice. So many female artists who offer stories or meditations sound super nasally, way up in the throat, super-high-pitched, and cutesy, as if they're trying to sound like some...Read full review »

I suffer from insomnia however, on first listening to this podcast I fell asleep within minutes longest rest in months.
Munted_Soul via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/07/22
Love the still and quiet atmosphere provided by this podcast.
Saschajadehealy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/04/22
I’m a recent paid subscriber using Apple Podcast app so why am I hearing ads?
Roma0000 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/18/22
Perfect cadence allows for following the story just enough to drift off to, there is a soothing depth to Taesha’s voice. The best stories are selected, and the lengths are perfect especially if you struggle getting to sleep! I had issues with other sleep podcasts that would wander off into...Read full review »

My favourite podcast to listen too. Always helps me sleep
lisj1910 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/31/22
Good stories, but simply read too fast for falling asleep. I’ll check back in a while to see if they’re more soothing.
jdailyx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/22
Thank you! This podcast is so helpful. I appreciate the simplicity of your approach and your clarity of purpose. Mission accomplished! You help me sleep. (And I like the stories, too!)
HappilySnoozin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/22
Your voice is so relaxing and gentle! I love the story Choices. This podcast has helped me in more ways that one. Thank you so much🌸

Her calming voice gently lulls me to sleep.
Groovy Bevy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/22
I love these classics and the delivery is the perfect combination of understandable and not overly emotional. I am very comforted by Ms Glasgow’s voice.
Cool Gane!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/22
I am intrigued by the stories but I can’t stay awake through them. Usually I replay them the next day. Beautiful, beautiful… voice…..zzzzzz………
Proffesor Kitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/22
Wonderful, soothing voice. Great short stories to help me to snuggle in, relax and eventually fall asleep. I rarely make it through the whole story, so you must be doing something right. Thank you!
cnango61 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/22
You are awesome!!
the100acrewoods via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/22
Your voice is perfect! Smooth, mellow & not too high. Thank you for this podcast. It really does help me fall to sleep.
MNpcla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/22
Love it!!! 😁
merrrggge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/22
I love the classic stories and simplicity of how she introduces the podcast. Short intro and right into a soothing telling of the classics. Coffee coming your way, that’s my kind of payment too 😉 Thank you!
Nic in Cali via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/22
Really enjoying these, even though rarely listen to the end as fall asleep. For a chronic insomniac like myself these are a real find. Taesha’s voice is hypnotic, and the stories are well chosen. Very good👍
