Hello. Welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's reading comes from Plums of New York, published in 1911 and written by UP Hedrick.

This story looks at Plums, its industry and considerations during the early

1900s. My name is Teddy, and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important, and my mission is to help you get the rest that you need the podcast is designed to play in the background
