Quick update from Teddy

Dear listeners Its hard to believe how quicky time has flown. This month five years ago, I started this podcast to help people get the rest that they need. I’ve often struggled with sleep in my life, and felt that I could help other people with theirs. Thank you to everyone who listens to and supports this podcast. As you may know, my intention is to keep this podcast free, so that it is accessible to all of those who need it. Having said that, behind the scenes it has been challenging to juggle the podcast and my life commitments. The support from the community and my focus on your wellbeing is why I felt it important to share this announcement to you.  I’m honoured to have recently been selected by Spotify to be sponsored by their advertisement program. What this does is allow me to monetize the podcast by making a minor adjustment to the introduction of each episode.  Whilst this not may be a concern for some listeners, I felt the need to let you know of this change.  It is a small adjustment and it is going to allow me to continue bringing out more episodes for those who need them. Going forward, you will hear a paid advertisement at the beginning of each episode, which will not play again during the episode, ensuring that you continue to receive an uninterrupted sleepy experience. I realise this may not be a concern to some people, but for those who want to have an ad-free experience, there will be the offer to subscribe to the podcast for a monthly fee. For those who would like this option, I’ve made it as accessible as possible at a small fee of $2.99 per month. While this is completely optional, I wanted to give everyone a choice of either option. Now this is new territory for me, and I will be trialling this new Spotify offer to see how it works. The main message I wanted to share is, that I will continue to bring out episodes now that I am able to receive a small amount of funding via Spotify advertising. As always, I welcome your feedback and please ask you to contact me via the boreyoutosleep.com website if would like to share your thoughts. Thank you for working through this change with me, and I look forward to bringing you more restful nights. Sincerely, Teddy
