Sleep Cove - Bedtime Stories

A narrator reads classic stories, fairy tales, and guided meditations in a calm voice to help adults fall asleep.

The brief

A solo-hosted podcast where Christopher Fitton reads public domain literature—from Grimm's fairy tales to Sherlock Holmes mysteries—in a steady, soothing voice. The primary goal is not literary analysis but to provide a calm, predictable audio track to help adults drift off to sleep. The feed also includes guided sleep hypnosis and meditation sessions led by Fitton.

Unlike many storytelling podcasts, the goal is explicitly to put the listener to sleep. It often releases two versions of the same story: one with music and one voice-only, catering to different listener preferences.
