A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I am nearly 70, and I have been a insomniac since I was 25. I have tried all sorts of things, and some have helped for a couple of weeks, but then they stopped working. I wound up becoming a subscriber here because it’s still working after several months. Joanne’s voice lures me to sleep. Instead of dreading getting to bed because of not being able to sleep, I look forward to it. My favorite story is The Magic Bon-Bons by L. Frank Baum.

I sadly don’t have Patreon but I would love to pledge to her! I fall asleep to her beautiful voice whenever I can. The stories are so calming yet clear. She never disappoints and almost always posts on time! Personally I would like a little more one-off stories rather than Long books because I fall asleep so early that I never remember what happened in the morning.
Joanne_is_the_BEST! · May 2025
I love her choice of stories, although I don’t usually get too far. Her voice is so calm and soothing, I “drift off” pretty quickly. I love the relaxation exercises before the stories too. She really puts so much thought into each episode. My son absolutely loves them too.
BiggyHolden · Mar 2025
I have tried many of the “Sleepy Stories” podcasts to help me go to sleep, but Drift Off is the best for me. Joanne’s soft voice is so calming and relaxing. I also appreciate the guided imagery and body scan she starts with. Thank you, Joanne for helping me to return to sleep. We all need restorative sleep to function the next day and Drift Off helps me do just that.
