  • Good Wives ch. 13
    Nov 22 2024
    Tonight, we’ll read the next chapter of “Good Wives” written by Louisa May Alcott titled “Beth’s Secret”. This is also known as the second half of the “Little Women” novel and is considered the 36th chapter as part of that work as a whole. In the last chapter, Laurie graduates with honors and invites Jo to celebrate with him, but during their walk, he finally confesses his love for her, hoping she’ll reciprocate. Jo, though fond of him, gently but firmly declines, explaining she cannot love him in the way he desires and believes they are unsuited for marriage. Despite Laurie’s disappointment and insistence, Jo holds to her decision, urging him to move on, though it pains them both. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

  • Marbles & Kites
    Nov 20 2024
    Tonight, we’ll read excerpts from “Healthful Sports for Boys”, written by A.R. Calhoun and published in 1882. Also known as Alfred Rochfort, born in 1844, Calhoun was an American soldier, author, journalist and critic. He served in the Union army during the U.S. Civil War. "Healthful Sports for Boys," was a guide to engaging in physical activities that promoted health and well-being. One popular game covered in the book was marbles. Calhoun likely saw the value in marbles not just as a fun pastime, but also as a way to develop hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, and social skills. Glass marbles ultimately came into being around the middle of the 1800's, not too long before this book was written. It is believed that they were first created by glassmakers who shaped bits of leftover glass at the end of the day to take home for their children. For Calhoun, games like this wasn't just about exercise. His book emphasized the importance of sportsmanship, fair play, and the development of character. Our episode tonight offers a glimpse into the sporting world of a bygone era, reflecting the values and ideals of the time. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

  • The Golden Goose
    Nov 18 2024
    Tonight, we’ll read the classic fairy tale “The Golden Goose”. We found this version in Katherine Pyle’s 1918 “Mother’s Nursery Tales”. “The Golden Goose” was one of many folk tales documented and published by The Brothers Grimm. Snoozecast first read this story back in 2020. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German scholars who collected and published folklore during the 19th century. Their collection of tales helped preserve and popularize these stories, which were previously passed down orally through generations. While the Grimms' versions are widely known today, many of these tales have roots in much older oral traditions and exist in various forms across different cultures. In this tale, a simple and sweet man named John finds a goose with golden feathers- and it turns his whole world on its head. The story is a reminder that generosity and kindness can lead to unexpected rewards. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Relaxing until it's NOT.

For me, an adjustment period was necessary for oratory style but I’m now asleep just a few minutes into a reading. However, I do find the intros bothersome. They’re awfully loud (and lengthy) for this kind of podcast. On occasion I’ve been startled out of a lovely visit to Sleepytown. Overall, I’m pleased to have this as part of my sleep aid arsenal.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
