Best nights sleep I’ve had in months
After an incredibly stressful few months I was finding getting to sleep and staying asleep really difficult which resulted in me being tired snappy mess for most of the day. I’m not sure how I found you but I’ve slept so well every night since. I have no idea what I’m listening to or how any of the stories end as I’m always asleep within minutes. Thank you.

Joe salvaged my sanity!
I went through something very traumatic last summer. Because of the pandemic I was left primarily on my own. I had weeks of insomnia with ruminating thoughts. Then, I found Tales by the Fireside and was able to fall asleep, then back to sleep each time I woke up- a lot! The sleep allowed me to feel more in control of everything.
I was so sad when it seemed that Joe had stopped producing podcasts a few months ago because I continued to listen every night up to that point. I’m so glad he’s back at it! I am, gratefully, listening every night to help quiet my mind.
Three cheers for Joe!!!

Ahhh sleep finally. Wonderful stories and soothing voice. Wonderful.
My life is filled with my hubby having cancer and I have insomnia from stress. This is a blessing to have access to. Thank you so very much for what you do. You have no idea how much this was needed.

Anytime relaxation
I’ve recommended Tales by the. Fireside to so many people. There is something for everyone. I find the pain meditation very good and the stories are a good bed time anxiety distraction. Resulting in sleep 90% of the time. So thank you Joe.

Sound Quality is much better
The story the Canterville ghost is perfect. I don’t know if perhaps it’s a new microphone or different reading style but the sound quality is much better than past podcast readings.
The story is perfect. Loved it! Benjamin button is perfect as well.

Very soothing
I’ve tried a few sleep podcasts and this is one of my favourites. Some of the earlier stories are not as good; for example the fire crackling overwhelms the story of The Velveteen Rabbit but overall worth listening to.

Crackling Fireside
I have tried paid apps in the past and this is better than most of them. Joes voice is relaxing and although it doesn't always send me to sleep straight away, it definitely relaxes me and I can come here to reduce my anxiety. Thank you Joe!

Relaxing
In the current climate, I need something to help me relax after a stressful day working from home. Listening to these stories certainly helps me to wind down. I recommend everyone listens to this soft, eloquent voice.

So relaxing
I have just come across takes-by-the-fire-side, After listening to a few audio books. Joe has such a nice relaxing voice, the crackling of the fire just makes it much more relaxing. I love all of his stories especially Peter Rabbit, my son loves Joe Reading one of his favourite books.
If you’re looking for a nice relaxing audio book Tales-by-the-fire-side is the best place to look!
We can’t wait for Joe to do more!
