Love Nancy Miller’s voice!! The storytelling is fantastic. The no ads are heavenly. Love that it’s professional and appropriate where I can listen and not have to scramble to turn off if my kids walk in the room too.

Just Amazing

The podcast I keep coming back to! The episodes are phenomenally written, and if I fall asleep while listening, I’ll go back and replay them during the day, because I don’t want to miss a thing!

***Habit Forming***

Nancy Miller has created the true-crime genre’s most addictive bedtime sleep aid. Her voice is soothing; her episodes are interesting and exceptionally well written; she is respectful of the human subjects whose stories she tells. Warning: listening to Deep Sleep is habit forming, and you will anxiously look forward to each next episode.

One of my favorite podcasts

The writing is excellent and I appreciate the nods to literature and art. Well done!

Can’t believe I slept without this

Nancy Miller is my new favorite para social friend. Her voice is soothing and she is a great storyteller. She chooses interesting crimes that are not always murder based which is also nice. If I had one suggestion it would be to title the episodes in a way that is easier to search especially when they are two parters. I always fall asleep and want to re listen when I’m awake to catch the details and I can’t find them again! Also, I’d love it if there were a way by to filter out the teaser episodes for non-subscribers so I could just turn on my played episodes to fall asleep to without hearing the same things over and over. Thank you for this great show! I’m delighted to pay $5 per month for this excellent content!
