  • Ginger's Halloween

    Good Evening, Dreamer! You've found Larissa's Moonlit Tales, a podcast written, and recorded entirely by a human. That happens to be me, Larissa Langston, and I understand how frustrating it can is to be exhausted, but unable to fall asleep. I found that listening to something soothing can really help. I created these episodes to help you relax and drift off. My tales are safe for anyone, so feel free to share them. They are also being used around the world to help people learn English, as the pace is nice and slow. Tonight's episode is about Halloween, of course, but it won't be scary at all. We are going to view the evening through the eyes of Ginger, a golden retriever. (You may have figured out by now that I love animals) If you would like a quick way to get ahold of me, please visit my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find my contact info. Thanks to Matt Bowers for that website, and Mark Pottinger for his help with the tech involved with this podcast.

    Love to you!

  • Sweaters and Soup

    Good evening, Dreamer! I've been enjoying autumn and all that entails, so I decided to create an episode filled with the feelings of coziness that season brings. I really enjoyed writing it and I think you'll find it very soothing, at least, until you fall into sweet slumber. Remember, if you wake up in the middle of the night, that is the perfect time to turn another one of my tales back on. It should help you return to dreamland instead of getting caught up into thinking about the business of daytime. If you're here to learn English, I think the relaxed pace of my narratives will be very helpful. As usual, my tales are safe for all ages and usually told from the perspective of a young person, so feel free to share them with anyone you like.

    I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me, and Mark Pottinger for his help with tech. Now, dreamer, it's time to get started!

    Love always,

    Larissa Langston

  • The Anderson's Pumpkin Patch *Encore Episode*

    Good evening, Dreamer! We are returning to one of my favorite episodes this week, "The Anderson's Pumpkin Patch." This was my first tale about the residents of the little town by the river. Being a human, like you, sometimes I have to take a little break and this week was one of those times. I loved creating this village when I wrote this tale a year ago, and I thought a return there would be nice. As always, my episodes are safe for all ages, and designed to be soothing, and nostalgic. Some of my dreamers tell me that they never hear the end of my stories because they fall asleep too quickly. These tales are also being used around the world as an aid to learning English. That makes me so happy! I'd like to thank Mark Pottinger for his help with tech, and Matt Bowers for creating my website. Now, Dreamer, it's time to get started!

    Love Always,

    Larissa

  • The Cat and the Lamp

    Good Evening, Dreamer! Tonight's sleepy time tale will take us back to Mrs. Willoughby's Books, Antiques and Sweets store. You'll hear about making the perfect scone, looking for treasures in a shop, and Toby, the cat with a knack for knowing what his customers should buy. I think you'll find this story to be just what you need to help you relax and drift into sweet dreams. My tales come from my own memories or imagination and I record them myself. You're listening to a human, not AI. These episodes are safe for all ages, and written from the perspective of a young person, so feel free to share them with anyone you like. If you are with me tonight to work on your English comprehension, please know that most of the podcast platforms will include a transcript, that you might find helpful.

    I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me. I'd also like to thank Mark Pottinger for his help with tech.

    Sleep well, Dreamer.

    Love always,

    Larissa

  • Meyer's Mountain

    Good evening, Dreamer! As I write these stories, I love to imagine that I am there, in these peaceful locations, enjoying the beauty of the world. One of my favorite places in the Larissa's Moonlit Tales universe is the little mountain town. We are going to back there tonight, to enjoy autumn in the hills. My stories are designed to help you find restful sleep, either when you first climb into your bed, or if you wake up in the middle of the night. My voice is soothing. My pace is slow. All you need to do, is listen.

    My episodes are also useful if you are learning English. Most podcast platforms will include a transcript, so look for that. All of these episodes are safe for all ages so feel free to share them. Thanks to Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com and Mark Pottinger, for his help with tech. Time to drift off, now. Goodnight!

    Love always!

  • Kitty is Home Alone

    Kitty has been left, briefly, at home and she has to find ways to entertain herself. We've gone back to visit a recurring character on Larissa's Moonlit Tales. Kitty is based on a real cat, one who came to me as a kitten at a gas station in the middle of the night. She is now a grown up kitty, very happy and sassy. I think you'll enjoy this tale about her, at least until you drift off to slumber. All of my tales are safe for all ages, soothing and slow paced. They are designed to be the perfect thing to help you find sleep quickly, or return to sleep if you tend to wake up in the middle of the night. All you have to do is listen. If you are using these tales to work on your English skills, please know that most of the podcast platforms will include a transcript that might be useful.

    I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, and Mark Pottinger for his help with tech. Now Dreamer, it's time to get comfy and ready for sleep!

    Love always,

    Larissa Langston

  • The Batik Factory

    Good evening, Dreamer! When I was a child, my family lived on the island of Java for a few years. It was a great experience and I wanted to share another memory from that time with you. You'll hear about our trip to a batik factory, where beautiful cloth is made in the traditional way. I think you'll find it soothing and entertaining. It should be just the thing to help you drift off to sleep or return to sleep, if you have a tendency to walk up in the middle of the night. All you need to do is listen. If you are using these stories to learn English, my pace is nice and slow, and there is usually a transcript provided, depending on which podcast platform you are using.

    All my stories are safe for all ages and told from the perspective of a young person, so you can feel good about sharing it with anyone. Thanks to Matt Bowers for my website, and Mark Pottinger for his help with tech.

    Time for sweet dreams!

    Love always,

    Larissa

  • Making My Way, Making Friends

    Good evening, Dreamer. Tonight's tale is a continuation of a storyline about a city family who moves to a small town. If you didn't hear the first tale, that's no problem. Each of my episodes can stand alone. I think you'll find this one very soothing and sweet, and like all my stories, it is safe for all ages. They all come from imagination or memories and are designed to help you fall asleep quickly. AI is not writing this tale. I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me, and Mark Pottinger for his help with tech. Now, dreamer, it's time to drift off to sleep.

    Goodnight, dreamer!

    Love,

  • The Patter of the Rain

    Good Evening, Dreamer! Tonight's sleepy tale will take you on a walk after a rain shower. You'll feel the cool breeze on your skin, see a young scrub jay preening in a tree, and enjoy peach cobbler at Grandma's. These tales are designed to be engaging enough to hold the attention of that busy brain of yours until the sound of my voice soothes you to sleep. They are safe for all ages, a bit nostalgic, and usually told from the perspective of a young person, so feel free to share them with anyone you like. If you are using these tales to learn English, you are very welcome, too. Most of the platforms have a transcript available. You might find that helpful. I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, and Mark Pottinger for help with tech. Now, dreamer, it's time to drift into sweet dreams. Good night!

    Love,

  • Gifts of the Sea

    Good evening, Dreamer! The tale I have for you tonight is based on two very special animal encounters I had recently. I wove the events together in my sleepy style and created this episode. All my stories are safe for all ages and told from the perspective of a young person, so feel free to share them with anyone you like. They are made, recorded and edited by yours truly, not AI. Each one is designed to help you fall asleep quickly or return to sleep easily, if you tend to wake up in the middle of the night. I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, and Mark Pottinger for his help with tech.

    Settle in and get comfy! Here we go!

    Goodnight, Dreamer!

    Love, Larissa

About Larissa's Moonlit Tales

From the publisher's feed

Hello, Dreamer! I'm Larissa and I am a real person, not AI. I know how it feels to be exhausted but unable to sleep because of anxiety. I wrote and recorded these stories to give my listeners something calm to think about. When our brains are engaged with a soothing story, it is easier to relax and fall asleep. I also wanted to remind us, myself included, of the beautiful and good things in life. Almost all of these stories are inspired by my own memories. I tend to write them from a young person's perspective, usually a young teen, as I have so many stories from that period of my life. They are safe for all ages, so you can share them with anyone you like. I have been told that the pace of my episodes makes them useful to those who are learning English. I'm glad they are helpful in any way! I hope and pray that these tales will bring you joy and peace, and thus a healthier, happier life!
