Love love love!!!

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. My favorite stories are Sherlock Holmes as I like mysteries but I will make my way through all of them eventually. Keep up the great work Taesha and thank you for my restful sleep!❤️

Just needs to be a bit slower

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.

Lovely Voice

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.
