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

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

And this is our 300th episode.

That is really pretty wild to say.

It's amazing that the show has been able to go on this long and I have you to thank for that.

Truly, if you're listening right now,

thank you so much.

I can't believe there are 300 episodes of this show. This has been a very wonderful ride and I have no intention of stopping.

There's a lot of books out there to go to sleep too, so I'm just going to keep reading them as long as you keep falling asleep to them.

So I got a big special long episode for you tonight. It's going to be over two hours of one of my favorite

authors, Edith Wharton. I absolutely love her writing, it's also Women's History Month, so

Edith Wharton can take the spotlight tonight.

Before we get to tonight's show, I just want to thank our brand new patron for this week, Paris Jackson.

Thank you so so much Paris. I really, really appreciate you supporting this show. It really means a lot.

And for any of you who don't know, Paris is a brand new patron on patreon.com, which is a website where you can directly support the people who make the stuff they like.

So, if you like Sleepy, it's helped you get a better night's

rest, then consider going to Patreon.com slash Sleepy radio and donating even a dollar a month. $2 a month gets Bea

a dollar a month. Two dollars a month gets you access to the ad-free version of Sleepy,

which will update regularly just as the regular podcast does

and then five dollars gets you access to our poetry feed

but even if you donate a dollar

i'll read your name in the opening credits of the next show after you do.
