This a very well done podcast and totally helps me fall asleep. It usually takes me a few times to get through each episode because I fall asleep so quickly. It’s very well done. Thank you to the creators and narrator!
A great way to drift off. It’s consistent, rhythmic, even if the pauses seem a little awkward at times. But I use this really frequently to get to sleep
Although I love the stories, and I love the voice, I can’t really listen to them because of the background music. I find it quite distracting and too loud, especially when the story ends and the music gets louder. I’m sure that some people might like it, but consider offering a version with and without the music for those of us who prefer just the voice. Perhaps it is because I have very loud tinnitus and can’t hear the words behind the sound. Just a suggestion.
The slight droning nature of the narrator’s voice and the ambient background music combined with the excellent writing of stories themselves almost always has me asleep before the narration ends. I particularly like the 19th century style of dialog. And the depictions of England at that time. I eagerly await every new episode and have relistened to most of the episodes.
Yes, the voice is very soothing and the music is wonderful. I especially like the way the music continues for a significant amount of time after the narration comes to an end. But who’s the narrator? We don’t know who it is because he doesn’t exist. Tthe voice is an AI-generated construct. If you listen closely when he says “Mrs. Hudson,” for example, the voice renders “Mrs.” as the last word in the sentence, pauses slightly, and begins a new sentence with the word “Hudson.” There is simply no way an actual human narrator would make this mistake. Why should it matter? It probably doesn’t, as long as it puts you to sleep. But the producers should be upfront about it — truth in advertising and all that. There’s a place for AI, but it needs to be labeled as such.
