Hello. Before we begin, a quick note. The Boy to Sleep podcast relies on you and sponsors,

which means you will hear a quick advertisement before the beginning of tonight's episode.

While the podcast is free, you are welcome to subscribe for just $2.99 per month, which supports the

creation of this podcast and gives you an

ad-free listening experience. Simply click the link in the show notes from your podcast app. Rest easy.

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 brick and marble in the Middle Ages, written by John Murray,

and published in 1874.

This story explores architecture during the Middle Ages.

My name is Teddy, and I am 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, while you slowly fall asleep.

I would like to thank everyone who has reached out to me during the past week,

following my recent announcement regarding Spotify's new sponsored advertisement program, which will feature at the beginning of each episode.

This has come at a time where juggling the podcast and life commitments were starting to become a little challenging.

My goal has always been to keep the podcast free,

and I am hoping that this new opportunity will allow me to do that.

The podcast has no cost,

and while an advertisement at the beginning of the episode may not

be a concern for some listeners, you do have the option of subscribing to the podcast for $2.99

per month. What this does is ensure you will not hear any ads at the start of the episode.
