Welcome to the I Can't Sleep Podcast with Benjamin Boster.

If you're tired of sleepless nights, you'll love the I Can't Sleep podcast.

I help quiet your mind by reading random articles from across the web to bore you to sleep with my soothing voice.

Each episode provides enough interesting content to hold your attention, and then your mind lets you drift off.

Find it wherever you get your podcasts.

That's I Can't Sleep with Benjamin Boster.

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

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

And this is a midweek short story for you.

I've got a really lovely short story for you tonight by none other than Washington Irving,

who most famously wrote The legend of Sleepy Hollow.

And Washington Irving was incredibly prolific

and wrote lots of really good short stories,

ones that I love reading this time of year.

So I got a brand new bedtime reading for you.

And before we get to the bedtime reading, I just want to profoundly thank all of our patrons

on patreon.com, which is a website where you can pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version

of the show and also directly become a part of making it.

If you are a part of making the show and you donate on Patreon, thank you so, so much.

It really, really means a lot. So thank you. And if you're not a patron and you'd like to be you can do that and you can do that by going to

patreon.com slash sleepy radio and donating even a dollar a month like I said at two dollars a month

you get access to our every version of the show five dollars you get access to our, uh, every version of the show.
