I love this podcast. The presentater has an excellent voice and the production is relaxing. Someone else said they love this podcast and one by Hugh Bonneville, these are also my 2 favorites! This podcast deserves our support. It is well done. Thank you and Goodnight 🌙

I like both Sherlock Holmes’ podcasts, the one read by Hugh Bonneville and this one. I really appreciate this one, because it does exactly what it says, it helps me go to sleep. The voice is a little more monotone, but that’s also helpful for getting drowsy. And I find the music at the end is perfect for staying sleepy and falling asleep. I would love to have more of these with longer episodes, an hour or so, because it sometimes takes me quite a while to get to sleep. But really grateful for them…!

Why listen to this creepy AI voice when you can fall asleep peacefully to Hugh Bonneville’s note-perfect Sherlock stories? So much easier on the ears, and his readings really capture the personalities of Watson and Holmes without being over the top. Ditch this artificial nonsense.

The idea of trying to fall asleep to an AI voice makes me sick to my stomach. No, thank you.

I find these so helpful in my sleep process. The stories are interesting enough to keep my mind occupied, but not so much that I can’t fall asleep. I love the stories. I love the narrator.

Advertising followed by advertising followed by a begathon. That’s as far as I got.

It’s so relaxing and peaceful everyone who dislikes it I’m sorry you can’t enjoy it like the rest of us

But plz the music is a bit noisy love the story but the music is not relaxing

The Ai voice reader is grating and has no expression so I cannot fall asleep, sounds robotic

I don’t see a narrator credited. That makes me think this is AI generated, so I don’t listen to it anymore. I prefer human narrators, and will look content elsewhere. I hope others will do the same!

I enjoy the podcast but sometimes dated and racist terms are used in the stories. The terms usually are about indigenous people, people from India and Black people. For example In the Wisteria story there were several racist terms/descriptions used for biracial and Black people. If you don’t want to change the story you could at least mention a disclaimer before the story and say, “this is an old story that is a product of its time. We apologize for the dated and hateful terms Doyle used. We don’t support the idea that anyone is less of a person or unworthy because of the color of their skin.”

Relaxation not achieved. Loud casino ads? Come on

I genuinely look forward to listening every day, especially after a long or rough one. These stories relax and entertain me so very much. Thank you for making such a great show!

I am a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast and this podcast is so enjoyable.

4 minutes into this podcast and the story STILL has not started!

I am a Sherlockian and this is a perfect way to drill the stories into my subconscious while falling asleep. Thank you.

Perfect to sleep, as well as being able to enjoy great literature!

Love his reading and so helpful to relax.

Is the narrator Ai or real voice reader?

Sounds like an American trying to do an English accent.

Voice and music

This is a great podcast, EXCEPT, the background music is too loud and distracting. It is sometimes even difficult to hear the narrator over the music. If you must have background music, make it softer please.

PB to Jelly, those 2 go 2 get her

So glad to have found this podcast. Love Sherlock Holmes stories and to have them read to me is wonderful. The pace and music is very soothing, but the interruptions of ads spoils the flow and jars me from the feeling of sleeping. Having the ads at the beginning would be nicer.

Love this show. Excellent Inflections for the dialogue and well paced narrative. The show works too well since I have to listen to the same episodes multiple times due to falling asleep! Alternatively, it’s a great listen during the day when fully awake!

I agree with all the reviews stating the issue with ads later in episode-just as one is dosing off. Please hear us. And place all ads before the story begins. This will be a deal breaker for me.

This is my go to when I am stressed or having trouble sleeping. Love the pace, the rhythm, and the fact that the music continues at the end, lulling to sleep. I have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories so find this as an old new acquaintance which brings comfort in these times of uncertainty. My dog seems to enjoy them too!

Ads all in front now. Not a Problem. Sherlock addicted me to Reading 75 years ago. I can never stay awake through a story but I have them all memorized anyway. Very effective way to quickly Fall asleep.

Took too long to actually start the episode

This pod was the best, my nightly go to and a guaranteed way to fall asleep. Until they put adds right in the middle at a higher volume and much different tempo-they wake me up and defeat the whole purpose of this podcast. If the ads were just read in the narrator voice and inserted at the same volume and flowed, I’d be fine with it. I get wanting to make $ but literally the whole purpose of this pod is now defunct due to these loud, high tempo, totally off ads. Please change it!!!

Disappointed in the AI narrator

Update- new ads mid-story are loud & abrupt. The whole reason I listened to the pod is gone! I’m changing from 5 to 1 star. I tried a different Sherlock Holmes podcast before this & found the story too interesting to fall asleep. This one with the monotone AI voice & lack of ads is perfect! If you want the character of a real voice actor, this is not for you.

I loved this podcast bc the volume was the same level throughout. The new ads are loud, and wake me up. Opposite of what made me love this podcast. I’m SO disappointed. Edit: Once again, I’ll never use any of your ad partners bc their ads are too loud and ruin the vibe of the show. If you’re going to use ads, make them less blaring, please.

Love to pod, been listen for a few months and I loveeeee it! I am wonder if the narrator is text to speech or AI and I don’t think so but a lot of people do. I would love if the music was different or there was just white noise or fire sounds in the backround. Love itt! <3

Would love a podcast like this but the AI voice is distracting and lazy.

Love the story, voice and pace for pre-sleep relaxation thank you

Really appreciate the podcast. Helps me fall asleep every time.

The narrator has a good voice, but I HATE that horrible music in the background. It doesn’t fit the storyline. I would have liked to listen to this podcast. Delete the music and I will come back and listen.

Pretty nice and makes me fall asleep. Just the long breaks after each sentence is annoying. Great Podcast!

Well read, but the swelling chord following each spoken line quickly became intolerable.

I just found this podcast- wonderful soothing voice. I’ve read some think the voice is A.I. generated, but to me it sounds like a voice actor that did a guest appearance on an album by The Real Tuesday Weld. If it’s Him or A.I., it’s wonderful either way, but I like to daydream it’s Him.

This is my first time listening. I’ll come back tomorrow and let you know 🙏🏼

This a very well done podcast and totally helps me fall asleep. It usually takes me a few times to get through each episode because I fall asleep so quickly. It’s very well done. Thank you to the creators and narrator!

Knocks me out thx zzzzz 😴

A great way to drift off. It’s consistent, rhythmic, even if the pauses seem a little awkward at times. But I use this really frequently to get to sleep

Good podcast

Although I love the stories, and I love the voice, I can’t really listen to them because of the background music. I find it quite distracting and too loud, especially when the story ends and the music gets louder. I’m sure that some people might like it, but consider offering a version with and without the music for those of us who prefer just the voice. Perhaps it is because I have very loud tinnitus and can’t hear the words behind the sound. Just a suggestion.

My favorite Sherlock Holmes podcast. “Now it’s time to relax.”

Sometimes the text-to-speech is very obvious, but it still puts me to sleep. Five stars.

Yes, the voice is very soothing and the music is wonderful. I especially like the way the music continues for a significant amount of time after the narration comes to an end. But who’s the narrator? We don’t know who it is because he doesn’t exist. Tthe voice is an AI-generated construct. If you listen closely when he says “Mrs. Hudson,” for example, the voice renders “Mrs.” as the last word in the sentence, pauses slightly, and begins a new sentence with the word “Hudson.” There is simply no way an actual human narrator would make this mistake. Why should it matter? It probably doesn’t, as long as it puts you to sleep. But the producers should be upfront about it — truth in advertising and all that. There’s a place for AI, but it needs to be labeled as such.
