{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Grandpa’s Sleep Stories For Grown-Ups","slug":"BedtimeStoriesForGrownups","podcastDescription":"

Drift off with Grandpa: gentle sleep stories for grown-ups, told in a warm, old-fashioned voice with slow pacing and cozy details.

Each episode is a nostalgic bedtime tale—small-town evenings, front-porch memories, easy humor, and familiar comforts—written to feel safe, steady, and unhurried as the day winds down. Recorded with an even volume and gentle sound design, designed to avoid sudden surprises. Start anywhere, listen softly, and set a sleep timer if you’d like; these stories are made so you can drift in and out without missing a thing.

New stories are added nightly, each one a soft place to rest your thoughts. So get comfortable, dim the lights, and let the town of Millford Junction take it from here.
