Hi everyone. My name is Kristen Nettie and you're listening to Dreamy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

Dreamy is the sister podcast To Sleepy and is produced by Otis Gray.

I wanted to thank everyone for all the amazing reviews and messages since Dreamy has launched.

It means so much and I am so happy that this show has been helping you get the sleep you need.

Since Dreamy is a brand new podcast, your reviews help so much

Thank you.

The music you're hearing is by R.B.K.E.

And the cover art for Dreamy is by Gracie Canaan.
