The voice you hear is the creator's own. He cloned it from recordings of his own voice, so every story is told in his voice. If you enjoy falling asleep to it, follow the show so each new story arrives on its own, and leave a rating on Apple Podcasts so other people can find it.
Welcome to The Sleeping Almanac. Tonight the ship must pass the three great dangers of the middle sea. First the meadow of the singing women, the Sirens, whose song no sailor is meant to survive. Then the narrow water between the cave and the whirlpool, Scylla and Charybdis, where the strait itself takes its toll. And last the green island of the sun and its forbidden cattle, and the storm that answers a broken oath. A grave and gentle telling for sleep, every danger named softly and never shown, calm enough to drift to and rich enough to stay awake for if you choose.
Close your eyes. Let the fire on the beach burn low. There is nothing to do now but listen and rest.
