Children's Bedtime Stories Podcast for Adults

I would like to take you on a journey back to that time when you were around five years old and bedtime stories were everything. It's what you looked forward to after your evening bath. Remember? I’m Ruma Tenbrink and welcome to the “Children's Bedtime Stories ” podcast for Adults! Now close your eyes and think back to that time when your mom or dad took you away to another land, another time, a world filled with magic and adventure while you snuggled deep into your bed. You felt so cozy, clean, comfortable and nurtured. You felt like you were lying on a cloud with the comforters hugging you in warmth. Would you like to experience that again? Of course you would! So go get clean, put your pyjamas on and settle in with a hot chocolate or a hot toddy and take a journey with me to another land. If you fall asleep while listening, I have truly done my job! Happy slumbers!!!
