The host has been mispronouncing words like Arabic and Asclepius, it seems that the soothing cadence and voice are being computer generated.

Is it AI now? I used to love this show and Dead Sleep True Crime for Bedtime bc no AI! I hope I’m wrong I love Ms Olympia!!!

My go to when I can’t sleep. Interesting enough to hold my attention so I can settle in and soothing enough to ease me to sleep. Thank you.

Needs more episodes and produce more frequently

Love the warmth in her voice as well as the array of topics. Just a fantastic sleep aid.

cheap money grab

Frickin ai is taking over. Please make the narrator human. I feel weird being read to by a robot

This channel is obsessed with making money. Loud commercial to start, copy read after that, followed by a patreon commercial. This was so annoying, I’m up writing this instead of sleeping.

In the Silk Road episode, the AI mispronounced Lisbon and Seville. The pauses are weird. Some basic words also get mispronounced. But the podcast itself isn’t too bad, but it’s scary how real these AI’s are starting to sound.

No issues with the cadence - or the fact that it’s AI to begin with - but how hard would it be to fix the pronunciation of Greek names? Try going to sleep with someone talking about “Aphrodight” or “Uh-chill-ees.” Nails on chalkboard, and makes the Patreon requests hilarious. Other than this easily fixed issue it’s pretty nice. Pleeeeease address the pronunciation.

The content is good and it can help you get to sleep but I truly have no interest in listening to an AI voice. Real people only please.

I used to watch documentaries before bed. I would stay up later because TV is a huge distraction. Lights Out Library takes me out of my day and relaxes me. I’ve listened to many episodes repeatedly. Even if I don’t fall asleep during the documentary, I fall asleep shortly after.

I have learned so much since listening to this podcast about space and mythology, among other topics. It’s still relaxing enough that it puts me to sleep, sometimes I have to relisten to the last half the next night. Definitely recommend

I couldn’t listen to an AI robot read to me. The speech pattern is off and having a robot read to me is a little creepy.

I’ve listened to so many sleep podcasts and this just hits the spot. No frills, just great stories and educational journeys. I get excited to go to sleep because I look forward to listening! Thanks for the effort in making such a wonderful piece of audio art.

I started off really enjoying this podcast, but after listening to a few episodes and getting more used to the speaker’s voice I realized that her unusual cadence is most likely due to her being AI. And then I couldn’t enjoy it anymore. For some reason being read to by a robot just wasn’t as relaxing. Pretty sure it’s written by AI as well. Considering the environmental impact of using AI, I’m gonna have to pass.

Thank you for making such a great podcast that keeps my interest and actually helps me go to sleep

its really relaxing and interesting. i like how she talks about stories from places other than europe. love your work!

love this pod! my favorites are the mystery ones, but i’ve listened to them all more than once :)

As a lifelong insomniac, I love this pod. Hope you can post more frequently. Thank you!

I find this gentle podcast to be interesting & broad subjects, engaging, soothing, unique, & done with a thoughtful approach. I definitely recommend it, especially for relaxed, calm listening

This show has been a delight of a find. Massively helpful for relaxing for sleep- the episodes are very interesting so your mind is engaged enough to focus your thoughts, but spoken in such a relaxing manner you still fall asleep. I’ve learned a lot as well which is a big bonus!

i LOVE this podcast. it’s just interesting enough to keep your attention, but soothing enough that you fall asleep in the middle of the story! i honestly would love if you also had the same stories but more upbeat to listen to during the day!

The narrator keeps a nice even tone and the topics are just interesting enough to distract your mind from worry. Always look forward to new episodes!

No matter what time of the day you listen to this podcast, you will find it fascinating! Narrator has a very calm and kindly voice, and her stories are fascinating! I also like how she thanks listeners for listening, and she is very friendly and welcoming! Plus, she always sticks on the topic, unlike some podcasts where they talk about anything and everything until they finally get to the story at hand You will love this podcast, I do!

This podcast works amazingly well when you can’t sleep. I think my brain now associates the narrator’s voice with sleep. I usually am sleeping within 15 minutes.

I've tried many but this one is the absolute best. I listen to them over and over. Epic of Gilgamesh is my favorite followed by the one about the deep sea. Truly life changing for me to have this as my go to. Thank you!

Love this podcast. I check daily for new episodes hoping there is a new one. Great content, narrator has a great voice to put you to sleep. Every episode helps sooth me to sleep.

Love that it relaxes and informs at the same time. The subjects are great too.

I like my sleep podcast content to be historical and interesting and the voice to be soothing. Lights Out Library captures all three elements perfectly.

Love this podcast. I listen whenever I can’t fall asleep. Please do an episode on horses for us equestrians with busy minds…wondering if we turned the water off or closed all the gates. 🤣

If you like sleep stories this is the one you’ve been looking for. This is an awesome podcast for help with sleeping and I am so glad I discovered it. It has exactly the type of content and themes that I want and the narrator does an excellent job.

Exactly what I was hoping for! I love science and history, but find most interview-format podcasts hard to listen to. The narrator’s voice is very relaxing. I look forward to listening to each episode of Lights Out Library. Thank you

Helps me go to sleep with out all the “and then she blah blah blah blah”

I fall asleep to this podcast. And I re-fall asleep. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I fall asleep but then wake up. I will load episodes of this podcast, and it helps to keep me asleep.

I love the longer episodes…if I awake slightly, I hear your voice, and once again, drift off.

I love the content included, the way the stories are told, and the soothing voice of the narrator. I’m so glad I came across this podcast, it is truly perfect and always lulls me to sleep.

Great job!

I really appreciated these stories. I don’t even know where I keep finding new ones but this particular person who tells the stories is very comforting, easy to listen to and the stories are great.

One of my favorite podcasts for falling asleep quickly. Narrator’s voice is so good I feel like I’m being read a bedtime story by a fireplace every time. Thank you Olimpia. I look forward to more episodes.

I comb thru pods to find gems like this one. Excellent narration, good storytelling, very well done

Thank you Olimpia for all your wonderful stories!!! Your voice is amazing and I am so very grateful for your sharing of it throughout the readings. I Love You.

This is an excellent podcast. The content is interesting enough to keep your mind occupied, but not fully engaged. The voice is soothing, and the run time is about and hour, which for me is perfect. Quickly becoming a favorite in my large sleep podcast library!

There is no podcast that can help me sleep except this one. Her voice is so soothing and the material are boring and interesting at the same time. Interesting enough to make you want to listen to them and boring enough to make you fall asleep. I love it.

I just adore Ms Olympia’s voice. It is so warm and soothing - absolutely perfect for bedtime stories. I also love the topics she chooses. They are very diverse so there is something for everyone. I highly recommend this podcast when you need to be soothed to sleep.

So good. More sleepy science episodes please

Perfect sleep podcast, thank you!

Nice to find a good sleep podcast that is documentary style!! Olimpia has a great voice for this. It’s like falling asleep to planet earth or the history channel 😴

I love your stories. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you. I listen almost every night.
