"There is no softer pillow than a quiet mind," says Joanne D'Amico, Drift Off - Bedtime Stories host. With her own voice as soft as a pillow, D'Amico reads short stories to help listeners of all ages wind down and snuggle in. Tales include both original works written for the podcast and classic stories.
D'Amico's whispery voice and unhurried pace lull podcast listeners to sleep. Subtle background tones are almost unnoticeable. The Drift Off - Bedtime Stories music fills gaps between words to sweeten her pace and slow the mind. Story themes of escape and adventure in the podcast whisk minds young and old away from the day's worries.
Twice a week, D'Amico airs individual stories or chapter reads about 30 minutes in length. Drift Off - Bedtime Stories features popular tales like The Velveteen Rabbit and The Wizard of Oz. Stories offer calm and gentle messages to distract and soothe all ages. D'Amico tells listeners if episodes explore more serious matters unsuitable for kids.
Positive messages like Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Ugly Duckling explore self-acceptance. D'Amico's nurturing tone brings heartwarming stories to life without overstimulating. Popular themes include connection with nature, accepting change, growth, and development.
From Little House in the Big Woods to Graciosa and Percinet, Drift Off - Bedtime Stories offers something for everyone. A retelling of Romeo and Juliet provides a calmer variation of the bard's work. D'Amico also airs guided relaxation for sleep once a month.
Listeners laud D'Amico's airy voice and mindful pace for its calming escape from the day. D'Amico designed the podcast for adults who need to release the day and kids needing a wind-down. Enjoyed by both sets, D'Amico calls the podcast "a soft place to land at the end of the day." Drift Off - Bedtime Stories makes new episodes on a periodic basis.
