Hey, my name's Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

Podcasts where I read old books to help you get to sleep and a proud member of the Airwave Podcast Network.

I have got a wonderful snoozy bedtime story for you tonight.

But before we get to tonight's reading, I just want to thank all of our patrons on Patreon.com.

Kim Heng, Emily Norris, Jeff Christensen, Casey Scott, Isaiah Hopper, and Rebecca Robbins.

Thank you all so so much for donating and being a part of making this show.

And for anyone who doesn't know, all of these wonderful names that I just read are brand new supporters of Sleepy on Patreon.com,

which is a great site where you can support creators of the work they like.

There's cool perks for donating, like at $5, you get access to a special Patreon poetry feed,

where I send you extra poetry readings every month just for donating.

And then you also get entered into all of our raffles where I give away books that I read on the show.

Even a dollar goes a long way and no matter how much you donate, I will read your name in the opening credits of the next show.

So, if Sleepy has maybe helped you wake up more refreshed the next day, consider being a part of making this podcast.

And go to patreon.com slash sleepy radio. Thank you.

And as always, the music that you're hearing is by my good friend James LePkowski, who just got a new dog.

Congratulations, James. And the cover of Sleepy is by Gracie Cane.
