Episode Details

Curl up inside your cozy camper by the lakeshore as rain patters on the roof and distant thunder rolls through the mountains. From a nearby AM radio, you’ll hear two classic bedtime stories by Mark Twain, accompanied by soothing rain and sleep sounds that invite you to relax fully.

In The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, Twain spins a humorous tale of a clever trick and the gullible listener who falls for it. A Dog’s Tale follows with a moving, heartfelt story told from a dog’s point of view, touching on innocence, loyalty, and sacrifice. These peaceful stories offer a balance of laughter and tenderness, making them perfect for winding down before bed and enjoying a calming bedtime routine.

About Cozy Camper: Drift off to sleep inside your cozy camper by the shores of Silver Lake, nestled in the mountains. After a refreshing swim in the cool, clear waters, you retreat indoors just as a gentle thunderstorm begins. Bundled up in warm and dry comfy clothes, a hot cup of tea melts away the last chill from the lake. As rain softly patters on the roof and distant thunder rolls, the scent of pine fills the air. Settling into the soft bed and soothed by the peaceful storm, you’re ready for a deep, restful sleep.
