Tonight's reading comes from The Basic Facts of Economics. Written by Louis F Post and published in 1927, this story looks at the interesting world of money and economics.

My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest. Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need. This sleep podcast is designed to play calming narration and boring bedtime stories in the background while you slowly fall asleep.

Bore You to Sleep is a podcast I created because I had my own issues with sleep. I wanted to bring another resource to people out there who may have similar sleep issues to my own and I'm grateful the podcast has such an amazing community.

The podcast is self-made and produced by me, which is why you'll hear a quick ad at the beginning of each episode. With the help of subscribers and Patreon sponsors, I am able to keep delivering this free podcast to those who need it.

Thank you to everyone who shared their kind words of gratitude with me this week, whether through the website or their podcast app.

A massive thank you to the new subscribers via Spotify for Podcasters. And thank you also to all existing subscribers and Patreon sponsors.

If you find the podcast beneficial and would like to support it, there are a few ways you can contribute:

- Be sure to follow the podcast in your podcast app.

- You're welcome to become a $2.99/month subscriber, which ensures no Spotify ads play.

- If that's not possible, an easy way to support is by subscribing, leaving a review and rating in your podcast app. Even one sentence helps.

You can also say hello at BoreYouToSleep.com where you can support the podcast. I'm on Twitter and Instagram @BoreYouToSleep and on Facebook at Bore You to Sleep Podcast.

The best way to say thanks and help others is to share the podcast with a friend who may need it. These are fantastic ways for me to help, which is the greatest compliment.

In the meantime, lie back, relax and enjoy tonight's reading.
