Old Glass and How to Collect it by J. Sydney Lewis

The history of glass may be interesting to some, but the dry tale of the rise of the English glass industry will help you get to sleep, unless you’re very interested in the type and history of the stems on historical glassware. Will learning how to spot a fake historical glass artifact keep you awake? I’m guessing probably not. So, sit back, settle down, close your eyes, and fall asleep to this boring history.

SleepPhones, and a discount code

In our experience the best way to experience the bedtime stories of Sleepy Time Tales is with some type of headphone or earbud, but they can be cumbersome and uncomfortable.

Our partners at SleepPhones agree and are offering Sleepy Time Tales listeners a 10% discount on purchases of $99.95 or more. Use the link below and discount code SLEEPYTIME at checkout to get your discount.

This is a limited time offer, so don’t sleep on it (sorry notsorry)

To check them out go to sleepphones.sleepytimetales.net to check them out and support Sleepy Time Tales. And don’t forget to use the promo code SLEEPYTIME to get 10% off any purchase of $99.95 or more.

New Merch Store!!

I’ve partnered with TeePublic to setup a new merch store.

But because I’m no visual artist I’m taking advantage of a great TeePublic feature that allows me to share the works of other creators; expose them to my audience, allow their work to be purchased, and receive a small cut myself.

Check out the storefront at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/sleepy-time-tales?ref_id=25247 or go directly to store.sleepytimetales.net or merch.sleepytimetales.net.

I’d also like to issue a call. Any listeners with works up on TeePublic, please feel free to let me know and I’ll look at adding your stuff to my store. No promises, but I do have a few thousand monthly listeners, so that may help give you a boost.
