Our first bedtime story is from Keith Preston. I am especially proud of Keith’s journey in creating this podcast because he overcame his nerves at the thought of reading aloud to produce a really wonderful, lulling, reading. Keith is reading Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, an important book for Keith and one that connects to his many interests of heroism and marvels. I hope that Keith’s reading helps you to fall asleep this evening.
