    The Feather That Wouldn't Dry
    Jun 8 2025

    A curious duckling finds a mysterious feather and believes it holds the secret to flying—long before she’s ready. Her quiet journey down the creek becomes a lesson in patience, letting go, and learning to trust the rhythm of her own becoming.

  • The Silent Horn of Heimdall

    The Silent Horn of Heimdall
    Jun 1 2025

    After the gods have vanished and the world has grown quiet, a young watchbearer is sent to sit where Heimdall’s horn once called across the realms. What follows is a gentle journey into stillness, where silence itself becomes the message.

I am a lifelong insomniac. I have every app and have listened to every soothing audiobook author, podcaster, whatever. This IS the *holy grail* of sleep podcasts. The performer has a delightfully familiar, raspy voice, just bass-y enough to lull you to sleep. If you want to stay awake and get into a meditative state that works too. All episodes feel grounded in nature. Insta-Patreon subscription. Truly not enough kudos. Would write for longer but I’m listening and getting sleep. Night y’all and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS! You turn my 1-2 hours of sleep into 4-5 💜

Life changing.

I absolutely love this I have been listening for about a month and sleep so well now. I was struggling for a year before Audible made this available and I truly love Erik's voice and the lovely stories. Thank you Erik and thank you Audible.

This is wonderful!!!

I have severe PTSD one of my triggers is peoples voices because I was abused and traumatized by many people. So when I hear certain voices I go into a panic attack. I have certain parts of my mind that are still child like so stories help that have to be fairytale like. I tried so many sleep story apps and podcasts as well as a few audiobooks but all of then somehow triggered me. Then I found this one! See sometimes I go days without sleeping well so on my 2nd night of no sleep one time I found this podcast. And it changed my life. His voice feels like the voice of a Grandfather that protects his Grandchildren for some reason that’s the feeling I get listening. With in 10 min of my first story “The Green Knight” I slept the best I have in years and no night terrors. I know there are people out there like me and I hope they find this podcast. Thank you Erik Ireland for making me feel safe so my brain will give me some peace.

I cry as I write this because I am so thankful

I love everything about this podcast Erik’s stories and voice are incredible and have truly changed my sleep routine. I used to lay in bed for hours sometimes but now I am usually able to fall asleep before the end on a single episode. Thanks Erik!!

Truly amazing

My wife and I have been listening to Erik since the beginning and have created a whole new bedtime routine as a result. Now we simply cannot sleep without listening to Erik tell us a story. I promise you will love it. He has stories for everyone.

Eric, you are just wonderful! This is one of my favorite things in life right now. I used to have such anxiety at bedtime - will I fall asleep soon? Will I stay asleep?? No more, my friend. Thank you

I am addicted!
