Sleepy Time Stories is a podcast designed to offer fun, whimsical bedtime tales that help listeners gently drift off to sleep. While the podcast can be soothing for listeners of all ages, it is especially geared toward children, given the playful tone. The featured “episode” includes a children’s bedtime story I originally created for an undergraduate writing course, narrated in my own voice. Whimsical, cartoon-like sound effects are thoughtfully incorporated to highlight key moments in the narrative, adding an extra layer of charm and engagement for young listeners.
For the poster, I cropped and slightly adjusted the coloring of Henri-Edmond Cross’s Landscape with Stars (1905-1908). I chose this artwork because its surreal depiction of the night sky beautifully complements the dreamy atmosphere of the podcast. Since the podcast is primarily geared toward younger children, I selected a whimsical, playful font for the title to reflect the imaginative and childlike tone of the stories.
