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

in making it easier for other people to find the show and get the sleep that they need too. So if this

podcast helps you sleep and you haven't left a review yet, it would mean a lot if you left a rating

and review on Apple Podcasts to help the show grow.

And you can leave a request for a book you'd like to hear in the review.

Thank you.

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

And the cover art for Dreamy is by Gracie Canaan.

and set them afloat upon the sea.
