Drift Off - Bedtime Stories for Adults

My husband and I very much enjoy Joanne’s voice and timing while reading any story. Fabulous to hear a voice for the books I grew up on and other short stories. Thank you so much for your beautiful work.

This podcast helped me so much over the past few years with my insomnia and anxiety. I‘ve had panic attacks and severe anxiety ESPECIALLY when trying to go to bed. Some nights I would be unable to sleep until the sun rose at 6am. I was like a zombie. I tried melatonin, no screen time, herbal teas and many other methods and podcasts, but this one is really something special. Joanne’s soothing voice, breathing techniques and stories allow me to calm down and eventually get real and lasting rest. Some of my favorite stories are the One-Handed Girl, the Velveteen Rabbit and the Hidden One. I also love that Joanne doesn’t do those annoying and startling Ads. The only stories I don’t like, are the stories with racism, which is not very calming to listen to at bedtime. But, I understand stories like Little House on the Prairie are highly requested and classic reads. I can just happily skip those and save+listen to my favorite fairy tales instead. To end on a positive note, some of my favorite stories are ones that I’ve never heard before because they’re from different cultures. Thank you Joanne for bringing us these stories and making a difference!!!💗

I’m a lifelong poor sleeper, but Joanne’s calm and soothing readings, particularly of my childhood favorite “Little House” series, lulls me peacefully to sleep, usually before my bedtime story is done. Thank you!
