I’ve been using this sleep cast for over a year now and took a small break now that my schedule has changed. I was surprised to come back and try a sleep story and hear ads! This podcast was a godsend when I was experiencing insomnia. I’ve even recommended it to several friends who also love it. The readers voice is perfect, so I’m disappointed to know that I have to pay to listen to a story with no “outside” noise (ads). I’ve tried SEVERAL different sleep podcasts for adults and this one was the best.

I'm not even through a single episode, I just had to stop and express my gratitude for a calm, strong female voice. So many female artists who offer stories or meditations sound super nasally, way up in the throat, super-high-pitched, and cutesy, as if they're trying to sound like some cosmic cartoon fairy. If that's your jam, you're in luck, there's a lot out there. I prefer to hear a grownup woman who at some point discovered the fine - and apparently highly mysterious - art of speaking from the diaphragm. I like to hear 'strong, competent, knows how to breathe' in a presenter's voice. It isn't necessarily about pitch. Someone with a naturally higher-pitched vocal range who sits up straight and projects their voice properly will still sound strong, competent, and pleasant to the ear. I confess a preference for contralto speaking voices, as with this presenter, but it's more about technique. There's a precise, measured way of speaking here, and I really appreciate it. In my book, this presenter earns the 'She could read me the phone book...' award.

Perfect cadence allows for following the story just enough to drift off to, there is a soothing depth to Taesha’s voice. The best stories are selected, and the lengths are perfect especially if you struggle getting to sleep! I had issues with other sleep podcasts that would wander off into mumbling which made me strain to listen because the mumbling was actually distracting, but Taesha does perfectly to speak clearly! This is by far the most soothing sleep story podcast I’ve found. Such a blessing! For anyone complaining about the speed of Taesha’s voice; if you put the podcast speed to .75x you might find it more enjoyable. I don’t know if Taesha’s voice gets sped up in post production, but there are times that her voice does speed up and setting the speed at .75x restores the natural sounding speed.

Good stories, but simply read too fast for falling asleep. I’ll check back in a while to see if they’re more soothing.

I love these classics and the delivery is the perfect combination of understandable and not overly emotional. I am very comforted by Ms Glasgow’s voice.

I am intrigued by the stories but I can’t stay awake through them. Usually I replay them the next day. Beautiful, beautiful… voice…..zzzzzz………

Wonderful, soothing voice. Great short stories to help me to snuggle in, relax and eventually fall asleep. I rarely make it through the whole story, so you must be doing something right. Thank you!

I love the classic stories and simplicity of how she introduces the podcast. Short intro and right into a soothing telling of the classics. Coffee coming your way, that’s my kind of payment too 😉 Thank you!

This is such a wonderful podcast. I noticed one of the reviews stated it was a lifesaver. I completely agree. Before I found Just Sleep, I had terrible insomnia as well. Taesha’s voice is so mesmerizing and comforting. I don’t know what I would have done without her podcast. Wait, I do know, I would still have crippling insomnia. Thank you Taesha for developing this podcast.

Taesha’s podcast has been a life saver for me during my periods of insomnia. Her voice, tone, and cadence help me fall asleep. I’m so grateful she’s doing this.

Too fast and very broken.

A big part of finding a good sleepy time podcast is finding a podcaster that can deliver a deliciously boring tale in a calm, slow pace with soothing vocal tones. Almost hypnotic delivery. This podcaster has an amazing voice, but her rapid, sharp delivery of her stories only gave me anxiety! Def didn’t help me sleep. The stories could be good but she just needs to work on soothing pitch and hypnotic pace of delivery.

I love listening to these classics read Taesha Glasco during the day while in commute, working or anything. Her voice draws me into the mysteries in a calming relaxing manner somehow. Don’t ask me how.

Want to hear more of Anne of Green Gables please!!!

Would love to hear some classic spooky tales in the public domain leading up to Halloween! Like Dracula, Carmilla, and Frankenstein! Also would love to hear classical myths!

Wish all chapters of all stories were available. Seems to be that stories are uploaded a bit out of order.

Love this podcast so much! I have a really hard time falling to sleep. This podcast always helps me fall asleep!

This is the only podcast I’ve found that actually puts me to sleep, I love the narrators voice. I do wish that there were the whole books of some episodes read, like Anne of Green Gables and Alice in Wonderland would be awesome to have :)

Love this podcast! I listen to it every night and it always helps me fall asleep. Could you please read the first few chapters of Pride an Prejudice?

I love this podcast, but wish entire stories would be available. I listened to A Study in Scarlet and wish additional chapters were available!

Reader has a very calm voice with good cadence and emphasis. I appreciate that there is no music during the story, as that can be distracting for me. The stories/chapters are great classics that are perfect for adult bedtime readings. Thank you so much for helping me relax and fall asleep :)

I wish the stories were longer, but other than that nothing is wrong!

When I decided to download I didn’t know if it would be something that I would find it relaxing. But after listing to the story I have to say that I found that the reader talked with a voice that helped me relax and unwind after a long day. I have to say that I completely enjoyed the Pride and Prejudice episode and hope to have more to listen too.
