It just turned 12am here and I struggle a lot with overthinking at this time which really affects my sleep. Your videos help me a lot when over thinking as I can divert my thoughts over to your voice and the stories. Thank you for everything you do Joel :) sleep well to whoever is listening to this before they go to bed.

Wanna know what’s so crazy to me is I started listening in 2016. I’d turn the lights off and gather my kids and kid brother, then aged 7 8 11 (my youngest a newborn) we’d put on cool galaxy lights and strobes and make comfy spots all over said room with every blanket pillow and plushie imaginable. Popcorn and snacks and we’d listen to Let’s Read stories together. Sometimes we’d camp out back in a tent, same set up. My kids are teens now and they still listen to these stories to relax, to clean, to craft and with friends. It’s so precious to me as a mother to walk by their rooms and hear Joel’s voice 😭😭😭 I’m also extremely grateful for those memories I hold so near and dear to my heart, the years start coming and they truly don’t stop coming.

It's been 6 years, I can't sleep without these videos helping me calm my anxiety, thank you for reading the sleepless to sleep!

Absolutely LOVE these longer compilations. I have a hard time following TV these days and it's nice to just put these on and have some comfort without having to choose a new set of stories.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would love many more stories based on the career of Old Blue Blood. Love it!!

Dude, the story at 1:58:41 really hits close to home.

I had recently suffered from a miscarriage, a baby I had wanted for so long now gone forever and it really impacted my mental health. My sister in law being as embracive as she is, got me out of the house with the excuse of going grocery shopping. We were walking around, I was very absent minded because of the whole situation so I hadn’t noticed anything off or really cared. But my sister in law noticed a strange guy following us from aisle to aisle, and as we were passing by a random stranger she saw a camera flash. Immediately she spun around just in time to see the guy hurrying around the corner, and so she quickly informed me. I thought she was just being paranoid at first, but then I started paying closer attention and I did in fact notice he was lurking. I happened to be a part of the construction crew at that very store, so I flagged down a coworker I recognized and had my sil explain what she saw. By then he had traveled a few aisles down to distance himself from us, or maybe to hide. A group of nearby girls(two lesbian couples and a mutual friend) witnessed the man following us and acting really sus, they backed up my sil’s initial suspicions and security began searching for the man. He had taken off his jacket and turned his hat around, changing his appearance but to no avail as both my sil and the group of ladies recognized him immediately. He was escorted out of the store, he didn’t deny the claims he just left without another word and wouldn’t show his phone.

The two couples and their friend followed us out to the parking lot, where the guy had pulled out his truck in front of our vehicle almost like he was trying to prevent us from leaving? One of the ladies(bless her heart, she was a warrior) grabbed a crowbar out of her trunk and threatened to bash in his windows and kick his ass if he didn’t leave. They then exchange some profanities and threats before he blazes outta there. His truck had illinois plates, after that the ladies simply wouldn’t let us leave alone and offered to escort us to the police station. We all feared that this might have been an attempted kidnapping or tagging, as trafficking has started to get out of hand in our area. Either way, I’m very thankful to those young women for helping us get out of there safely because who knows what that guy had planned for me and my Sil. Thanks ladies! I hope you are all doing well ❤❤❤

Lots of people comment on your voice and the stories, but I just want to add how much I love the strange astronaut graphics you use! It’s such a cool atmosphere you create visually!

⚠️ I've now listened to every video from Let's Read/Joel! 😄 (Less the remaining time on this one) It's taken a long time as I didn't discover this goldmine until years after its genesis. Thank you. Your work has helped me and so many more find an uncanny peace, a needed distraction and a thought provoking pass time. I'm now 32. I suffered a catastrophic lumbar spine injury in 2015 after being pushed down a hill while resting midway through a day of sledding. I landed sitting upright on the far side of a concrete drainage culvert going over 20mph. Since then I've spent over %90 of every day in bed, living with severe debilitating chronic pain. I'm able to get up periodically, but never for long. I have nearly my entire lumbar spine fused together with bone grafts in between the vertebrae and titanium screws and rods. My first spine surgery took 8 hours straight, after which I eventually went on to have four more. I'll leave it at that, forego the rest and just reiterate my heartfelt thanks and appreciation ❤️

Great to fall asleep to, but then I need to listen when I am awake and catch what I missed

[christiandominguez]

Just recently I've been hit by Anxiety and listening to your stories has literally helped me on my mental journey back to the way I use to be. Thank you so much Let's Read

I had to put my down dog this evening and wondered how I was ever going to get to sleep; now, even if I can't fall asleep right away, I have 3+ hours of stories to listen to ❤ you always have the most impeccable timing with your videos; thank you for being such an amazing and reliable narrator 💕

[shmikelshmearer]

This is the only scary story narroration podcast I'll suggest to anyone interested, a lot of other narrorators have voices I can't stand to listen to for more than an hour. you were gifted with your vocals. I'll probably always be looking forward to your new post for as long as your still posting ❤

It's midnight and 32 degrees outside with a snowstorm on its way tomorrow. It feels so great to lay down with the blinds slightly open to look at the scenery outside, all with some of your tales to complete it!

[lynnajames]

Is it me or do Joel's stories get better & better! Been subed for 3 years now & I absolutely have to listen to the horror narrator way before other horror narrator's! Thanx for all the Ah-mazing stories Joel, A devoted fan in Arkansas ❤

[ktorgs]

I feel so spoiled getting 3 hours!!! Thanks Joel 🥳🙌🏻

[TrulyRude]

Time to smoke, snuggle in and zone out! 🍃💨😴

[suzysunshine]

I have started preemptively liking these videos even before listening when using for a sleep aide. I am always asleep within minutes. Best voice ever. Also when listening during the day, the stories chosen are captivating. LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

[jessswallow]

Just turned midnight in the UK and I can't wait to listen this to go to sleep. Love your videos Joel 🥰

[nenarosebud]

That story about Joel Guy Jr. is just chilling. They did a segment on him on an episode of Court Cam. The dude had no remorse whatsoever, like there was nothing behind his eyes.

[katrinamorgan]

Just recently found this channel and this guy must have melatonin in his voice because I have so much trouble falling asleep and 30 min in I’m gone…beautifully told; thank you
