| 06 Dec 2024 | Pale Blue Pod At Night | 00:31:08 | |
Hi, I'm trying something new! I've had a hard time getting my mind quiet lately, especially when I try to go to sleep. I figured maybe some of you are experiencing that, too, and I wanted to try to help. PBP at Night is a calm, soothing 30 minutes of me reading out loud very slowly. It might not be for you, but I hope it's for someone. If you do like it and you want more, it will be available to my patrons at patreon.com/palebluepod If you don't want more of this, but you want to read my dissertation at a normal pace, you can find it here.
