- Amazing voice to fall asleep to
I’ve been falling asleep this podcast for over 2 months. I look forward to bedtime because there’s always a new episode to listen to (and many I haven’t heard yet). I barely make it past 14 minutes until I’m out cold, which is unusual for my sleeping habits. The only thing that sucks is I never know how the whole episode goes, I get FOMO lol!
- listening from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 🍁🇨🇦

Just saying, don’t judge unless the ai thing is supporting fr... more
