• The Tin Coffee Cup
    Apr 29 2026

    Good evening, Dreamer! Thank you for finding Larissa's Moonlit Tales! Tonight's episode takes us back into the mountains to visit a charming coffee shop and the people that love to spend time there. Everything on this podcast is always pleasant, soothing and safe for all ages. I create these stories to you fall asleep or go back to sleep, if you wake in the middle of the night. All you have to do is listen and your brain should begin to associate the sound of my voice with slumber. My tales are told from the perspective of a young person, but full of a sense of nostalgia that appeals to adults as well. I understand that many people are using my podcast to help learn English, as my pace is easy going. That makes me so happy! I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me with any comments or suggestions. Thanks, also, to Mark Pottinger for his help with tech. Finally, dreamer, there is no AI here. All these tales come from my memories or my imagination. Love and Hugs!

  • Painting in the Garden
    Apr 22 2026

    Good evening, Dreamer! Thank you for finding Larissa's Moonlit Tales! Tonight's episode is a soothing tale about finding the perfect scene to paint in the local Botanical Gardens. You'll hear about a comical sculpture installation, a rose beauty competition, and the view from the top of the hill. Most of my listeners use my tales to help them find relaxation and deep sleep. All you need to do is listen and you should soon find yourself drifting off. The more you listen, the easier that should become. If you wake up in the middle of the night, just turn a tale back on. I know that some of you are joining me tonight to learn English and I am so happy that you find these stories helpful. These tales are safe for all ages and recorded at a pace that should make learning easy. They are also repeated and transcripted, at least on most podcast platforms. Thanks to Matt Bowers, for creating my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me with any comments and suggestions. Thanks also to Mark Pottinger for his help with tech. Finally, there is now AI here. These stories come straight from my memories or my imagination and are recorded with my soothing ASMR voice. Now, Dreamer! It's time. Here we go...

    Love always,

    Larissa Langston

  • The Birds, The Wetlands, and Me
    Apr 15 2026

    Good Evening, Dreamer! In tonight's episode you'll hear about doing something good for our feathered friends, participating in a clean up of a local wetlands conservancy. This particular story is inspired by the time I have spent at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach, California. If you like it, I hope you'll visit your own local bird watching site. I have designed these stories to be very soothing and they're are safe for all ages, so feel free to share them with anyone you like. The more you listen to these tails, the more your brain should begin to associate the sound of my voice with sleep. Because the pace is slow, they are also helpful to those who are learning English, and there is a transcription available on most podcast platforms. I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, where you can find a sure way to reach me with any comments and suggestions. Thanks also to Mark Pottinger, for his help with tech. Now, time to get comfy. Goodnight, Dreamer!

    Love always,

  • Carlsbad Caverns Part 2
    Apr 1 2026

    Good evening, Dreamer! This week's episode marks the official one year anniversary of Larissa's Moonlit Tales. In that time, I have created 52 full length episodes designed to help people fall asleep quickly. I have also become aware of something I did not expect when I began to write and record these due to their slow pace, and clear enunciation. For whatever reason you listen, I am grateful for your presence. Thank you! Now, tonight's sleepy time episode will lull you to sleep with a beautiful description of a recent adventure I had in the fabulous "Big Room" of Carlsbad's Caverns National Park. I definitely recommend this as a trip, but if you don't have the chance to go soon, this story will give you a little taste, while soothing you to sleep. I'd like to thank Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me. I'd also like to thank Mark Pottinger, for his continued help and support with tech. This episode is dedicated to my brilliant, science loving daughter, who first suggested that we go to the park, and was in heaven the whole time we were there. Now, dreamer, get ready to drift off into slumber!

    Love always,

    Larissa Langston

    Good evening, Dreamer. Welcome to Larissa's Moonlit Tales. Tonight's story is one I am so excited to share with you. I went on a trip this week, and discovered an amazing place, Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

If you wake in the night, feel free to turn this or another one of my episodes right back on. The more you listen, the more your brain should associate the sound of my voice with sleep. Many of my listeners have told me the never hear the endings of my stories because they have already drifted off into slumber. My tales are always safe for all ages, so feel free to share them with anyone you like. Thanks to Matt Bowers, for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me with any comments or suggestions.

    Good evening, Dreamer! This week's episode will be slightly delayed as I was traveling and unable to record. However, I am so excited to share with you the account of my recent trip to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. I intend to have it published soon, so please check back in a few days. The caverns are magnificent, other worldly, and beautiful, and I think you'll find the tale so very soothing. Tonight, I hope you'll find one of my stories that you haven't listened to and drift off to restful sleep. Sweet dreams! Goodnight, Dreamer.

    Love,

    Larissa

  • The Shamrock Necklace
    Mar 18 2026

    Good Evening, Dreamer! I have a St. Patrick's Day story for you, tonight. The inspiration came to me after recently meeting a lovely Irish American family. It's told from the perspective of a young person in that family, and designed to help you feel happy, and relaxed and then, fall asleep. If you wake in the middle of the night, just turn one of my stories back on. The more you listen, the more your brain should begin to associate the sound of my voice with peace and sleep. Thanks to Matt Bowers for my website, larissasmoonlittales.com, where you can find a sure way to reach me with any comments or suggestions. This podcast is cast on over 30 different platforms, and there are some that I have no way of checking for comments. Thanks also to Mark Pottinger for his continued help with tech. Now, dreamer, get ready to drift off into deep sleep.

    Love Always,

    Larissa
