PERFECTION!

I was listening to Dateline at bedtime because the voice was comforting and put me to sleep quickly, however, a few nightmares or being startled awake by 911 calls, ads etc. This is my new bedtime fav podcast and not once has it woken me up or given me nightmares!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
