A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I find these so helpful in my sleep process. The stories are interesting enough to keep my mind occupied, but not so much that I can’t fall asleep. I love the stories. I love the narrator.

Linda Lou R · Aug 2026

I genuinely look forward to listening every day, especially after a long or rough one. These stories relax and entertain me so very much. Thank you for making such a great show!

Nkimberlain · Mar 2026

So glad to have found this podcast. Love Sherlock Holmes stories and to have them read to me is wonderful. The pace and music is very soothing, but the interruptions of ads spoils the flow and jars me from the feeling of sleeping. Having the ads at the beginning would be nicer.

konakathy · Aug 2025

Love this show. Excellent Inflections for the dialogue and well paced narrative. The show works too well since I have to listen to the same episodes multiple times due to falling asleep! Alternatively, it’s a great listen during the day when fully awake!

Wavestarved716 · Aug 2025

I enjoy the podcast but sometimes dated and racist terms are used in the stories. The terms usually are about indigenous people, people from India and Black people. For example In the Wisteria story there were several racist terms/descriptions used for biracial and Black people. If you don’t want to change the story you could at least mention a disclaimer before the story and say, “this is an old story that is a product of its time. We apologize for the dated and hateful terms Doyle used. We don’t support the idea that anyone is less of a person or unworthy because of the color of their skin.”

Chanmilly · Apr 2026

This is a great podcast, EXCEPT, the background music is too loud and distracting. It is sometimes even difficult to hear the narrator over the music. If you must have background music, make it softer please.
