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.

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

Well, it's nice to be back doing our regular Sunday shows again.

This is the first Sunday show that I've done in four weeks where I get to thank all of our new patrons, which I've been looking forward to.

And tonight's story is a fantastic one by Chekhov, who, if you've listened to the show for a while,

you know, I really love reading.

So, before we get to the bedtime story, I just want to profoundly thank our new patrons on patreon.com,

which is a website where you can pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version of the show.

In the last few weeks, we have a lot of new patrons, so I'm going to get to some of them today, and then I will get to thank the rest in the coming weeks.

So, thank you so much to these brand new patrons of the show.

Bethany Bear, me, Karen Miller, Danielle Parker, Victoria Kaysen, Norma Carvalho,

Aubrey Thomas, A.J. Finsk, Rob Woods, Nicole Furco, Hoge Jody Levitt
