As a bonus for Soothing Stories listeners, we would like to share a preview of our brand-new show, "Uncanny Robot Podcast." Yes, more Uncanny goodness!

Wonderfully wild AI-created stories read by humans (that would be Thersa and Richard) with a little commentary thrown in, too. Thank you so much for subscribing and listening to Soothing Stories. We really hope you like the new podcast as well.

Did you know "The Iron Shroud" by William Mudford was the impetus for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum"? Well, it was. I decided to read it (and next, Poe's iconic tale), so we can compare the two for similarities and differences. I wonder which one you like best?

I've seen and heard dozens of narrations of Lewis Carroll's Alice and Wonderland, but at present none of the sequel, Through the Looking Glass. So I decided to remedy this and read the tale one chapter at a time. In this story, Alice doesn't fall down a rabbit hole, but instead steps through a mirror into a Looking Glass World. Here many things are reversed, we hear The Jabberwocky for the first time, and we get to meet Humpty Dumpty.
