Better Than Melatonin is a podcast in which episodes are slow-paced and softly-paced literary works of all kinds that promote an environment of relaxation so that sleep will come quickly. Additionally, once you set the volume, you can anticipate no change in volume with every episode since they are highly produced so that the sound levels are all the same. I developed this podcast because I was frustrated with so many so-called "sleep podcasts" whose episodes all have different sound levels forcing the person trying to get to sleep to reach over and adjust the volume. That won't happen here!
Settle back and listen to a classic of faith and astronomy by Rev. Ethelburt Bullinger, "The Witness Of The Stars," (the introduction) written in the late 1800s.
This 47-minute storyline is original content from the author about a little country town in north-central Ohio called Pilaf. The double-whammy of tree and grass pollen made for some interesting, and exciting times as the Pilaf economy started opening up.
This episode gently recites thirteen of Robert Frost's poems, including his most famous, "Stopping By The Woods On A Snowy Evening," and one of Frost's longest poems, "Blueberries." The last fifteen minutes of this episode explores the biographical notes of who Robert Frost is. Running Time is about one hour.
What makes this podcast DIFFERENT from other "sleep-inducing" podcasts? It's all about good audio technique and production. The creator of this podcast decided to correct so many common mistakes found in other similar podcasts. This is only the introduction. Each future episode will run about 60 minutes.
