Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation

Welcome to Cat-Naps. A quick something to slow the spinning mind and help you sleep. These weekly minisodes are going be exclusive to any supporters on Patreon or listeners on RadioPublic.

If you are reading this, this is your free sample to see if you’re interested. 😊

This is a reading of a fascinating, if dry, short story published in 1875 about a fictional discovery of archaeological evidence supporting the story of Noah and the Flood.

It’s the final episode of the first season of Twin Peaks, maybe you’ll be asleep by the cliff hanger ending, maybe not, but I’ll help you get a good night’s rest.

Story: 12:21

You dear listener have helped me to reach 20 episodes! This feels like a significant milestone, so it’s time for some changes.

 First up, Twin Peaks episodes are not very popular with listeners, so this will be the last regular Rewatch episode. They may pop up as part of a more diverse mix, but won't be every second episode.

 Second and third are related.

 Two: Changes are happening on the Patreon. The $10 tier is being dropped for now and the rewards for the $5 and $1 levels have been sweetened. One of those sweeteners are ‘Cat-naps’ weekly mini bonus episodes which will be released to all Patrons from $1 and up. Also, story only episodes, previously at the $10 level are now a $5 reward. Check  out https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales

 Three: Cat-naps will also be as available for free on Radio Public. So take a listen on Radio Public  

Four: Guess this is a real podcast now, so it has an Audible sponsorship. :) Sign up for a free trial using audible.com/sleepytime to receive a free audiobook to keep, and to support Sleepy Time Tales. If you sign up, please let me know so I can thank you appropriately on the show.

If you are a Facebook user, and are finding the show helpful, please consider giving it a review on the Facebook page.

 And of course, tell your friends, strangers, anyone who you think needs some help getting a good night’s sleep.

Buddy’s magical adventures are full of joy and fun, but my droning voice will make your eyelids so heavy you won’t even reach the end. You’ll be fast asleep before it gets interesting.

*I heard that the episode cut out about halfway through, so I've uploaded a new version*

*Two apologies to start with. The episode is going up pretty late because I had a bit of a torrid week trying to outline tonights story, and the sound quality is a bit off because I was very SMRT and forgot to turn off the fishtank filter before improvising the whole episode*

Buddy has been visiting the gnomes for some time now, and he is curious about the lives of the goblins that the gnomes tell him about, and that he caught a glance of once before.

*After I’d finished recording the audio for this episode news came out about the passing of Peggy Lipton, the actress who played Norma, the diner owner.

Even if one has never seen Twin Peaks you will recognise her from one of her many roles in television over the decades.*

So who killed Laura Palmer, as revealed in Dale Cooper’s dream? Oh, he forgot. Oops.

But Laura makes it to her funeral on time, despite the FBI forensic expert’s attempts.

Story: 16:40

Obviously there will be spoilers for the show, and while Twin Peaks does have some disturbing content, the intention of Sleepy Time Tales is to help you sleep, so I'll avoid those bits as much as possible.

Amazon has some very interesting media for Twin Peaks, besides the show itself, including the apparently rather excellent book The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost, the show's co-creator, so take a look.
