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 we open Season Four, the Odyssey, at the very beginning of the road to Troy. Long before the wooden horse, before the ten long years, a thousand ships put out to sea for the first time and made land on the wrong shore. This is the story of the false start, the wounded king, and the strange oracle that said the one who dealt the wound was the only one who could heal it. A slow, gentle telling for sleep, 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.
