Our Editor's Take

"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.

Part 1 Dreamy Sunday Series: The Cozy Bedtime Story of Anne of Green Gables (Chapter 16)
Welcome to our Dreamy Sunday Series! Tonight we continue our new cozy bedtime story chapter book series with the timeless classic Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Each Sunday, I’ll be narrating a few chapters, offering a gentle escape into the charming world of Anne Shirley and the beautiful landscapes of Prince Edward Island.  Perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and finding calm before bedtime.I also wanted to let you know that Part 1 of this special series will conclude on November 24, and we'll resume Part 2 in the New Year. I’m currently facing a sudden and serious family health crisis involving my daughter Emily, which is impacting my ability to prepare and edit episodes as I would like. Over the next few weeks, if a Sunday episode isn’t posted as scheduled, please know it may be due to these stressful circumstances. I deeply appreciate your understanding and patience during this challenging time, and I’m grateful for your support. Thank you for being here, and I look forward to sharing more of Anne’s beautiful story with you soon. Music by Golden Peas via Epidemic Sound Become a Drift Off Premium member today and receive: intro free listening to all episodesNO ADS or sponsorship announcementsaccess 2 monthly bonus episodes get early access and listen first to upcoming episodesexclusive access to full length audiobooks for your enjoyment and relaxation *You can subscribe via Apple Podcasts OR using the link driftoff.supercast.comFeel free to drop by on the podcast website to learn more about it!https://www.driftoffpodcast.com Content Warning Disclaimer: This podcast is a sleep aid for adults.
