Hi everyone, I've got some really good news for you all. We received two gold awards at the Signal Podcast Awards. We received one for Best Sleep Podcast and we received the other for Best Listeners Choice podcast too. I want to thank everyone who listens to the show and especially to everyone who voted for us to win in the listeners' choice awards. I really appreciate everyone who spent their time registering and voting for us. It's meant so much to me and everyone who works on the show. And I really want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

On social media, on Spotify for this episode, we're going to attach a clip so you can see me unpacking the award. and you can also see me unpacking it on Instagram, Facebook, on TikTok. I'll do the links in the description. Again there, I thank you for voting for me, and it means just so much for us. We changed the artwork of Sleep Cove to show that we won the award as well, so you might be able to see Edith will change on our artwork. This has really motivated us to go ahead and make some really good content for you.

We've got a few changes on the show, coming up in the next few weeks. Spotify are really promoting video podcasts at the moment. And very soon we're going to be having videos on the podcast. And that will probably eventually come through on Apple Podcasts too if you listen there. Also it looks very likely for our premium listeners, we're going to be moving to Patreon. At the moment on the premium feed, you can't really engage with me much. You can't really vote on episodes or put requests in. or comment on episodes. But we're going to go on Patreon

and there you can vote for the episode you want to see. You'll be able to comment. I'm going to be doing live streams, live meditations, live hypnosis, and all our podcasts are going to be on there as well. So we're not quite ready for that, but that is going to be coming up. And that means you're going to be able to talk to me,

comment to me, you know, speak to me directly, chat with me directly online, and really sort of give me feedback. because at the moment I don't feel like I really get enough feedback from the listeners and I really want to know what you think of our content and what you'd like to hear next and any suggestions as well and how it's working for everyone. So again, thank you so much for helping achieve these awards. It's meant so much for me.

We've applied for awards before and a lot of times, you know, they award them to, you know, well-known celebrities in the health and wellness categories and people like us, you know, who are like, you know, smaller independent operators, we sometimes get overlooked as well. And that's another thing I really want to sort of point out about our show is that we're independent people, me and my wife, Gemma, we just work on it ourselves,

and we have a couple of people who work for it as well as part of the team, and that's it, really. And there's a lot of apps out there, a lot of corporate apps, who pretend that the hosts are kind of like owners of the podcast, and are invested in it, but a lot of them are just like hired voice actors while we just like operate, you know, on our own and very, you know, independently without all this, you know, money backing because a lot of podcasts have entered the market just to get a cash grab,

really. And there's also a lot of AI podcasts out there, a lot of fake AI voices flooding the market. So we've got to really work against the AI onslaught and hopefully you'll be there for us as well. If you're listening to this and you haven't subscribed yet, please subscribe with the bell. And we're also really pushing ahead with YouTube at the moment as well. There's going to be three-hour versions of our episodes on YouTube. And we have two YouTube channels. One solely focused on the meditation and hypnosis and the other focused on bedtime stories and mysteries.

I'll leave the link in the descriptions for those. But if you go on YouTube and just search for sleep cove, sleep hypnosis, or you search for, Sleep Cove, Bedtime Stories. You'll see the two different channels on there. I hope we've done the right thing by having the two different channels. But let me know in the comments like, do you prefer one type of content of the other? Or do you listen to Bedtime Stories and Hypnosis and Meditation? Together, I'd really love to know. So again, thank you to everyone out there. It means so much to me. So much to me and Gemma and our team, our audio producers, our social media people. I really want to hear more from you now. So leave lots of comments and I'll look forward to reading them. Bye for now.
