A podcasting veteran since 2008, Max has hosted and produced shows for brands and personal projects alike.

Want some time to yourself? This is how to make it happen! In Dad's Bedtime Stories for Kids, host Martin Gage narrates bedtime stories designed to give your child a simple, but somewhat interesting story to listen to, and are first person stories so kids can imagine themselves in the character’s shoes. Each episode is a 10-15 minute story followed by white noise to drown out distractions. The character always ends up back in bed, doing a short mindful relaxation exercise to help them off to sleep (if they aren’t there already). Get those kids to sleep!<a href="https://fiverandomquestions.com/dads">Dad's Bedtime Stories</a> This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
