Bedtime Stories Podcast  

This podcast started 18 March 2020. I was aiming to read and record bedtime stories every day (me = Edward Gomez) but now I fit the recordings in when I can.

Hope it gives you some distraction and calming night-time vibes during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Apologies for the poor quality on some of the early ones - I now use a much better mic!

You are not alone.
