Hello Creatives!
A journey two years in the making has reached a remarkable milestone!
With tremendous gratitude, Sleepless Creatives is celebrating 1,000 downloads. This achievement, once impossible, belongs to the listeners who have joined us in exploring literary classics.
Whether you're an actor, a writer, an artist or a bookworm, I want to thank each one of you for your dedication to the show - you make it all possible!
To mark this special occasion, we're thrilled to announce an exciting evolution: Guest Readers will soon be joining our storytelling adventure!
While we're still finalising details, this development promises to bring fresh voices and new perspectives to the stories we share.
Be sure to follow our social media channels for upcoming announcements about who these guest readers will be and when they'll make their debut.
The timing couldn't be more fitting as we continue with Chapter 3 of Don Quixote, where our protagonist undergoes his transformation.
In this episode, we follow Quixote as he convinces a bemused innkeeper to knight him in an improvised ceremony.
The innkeeper, recognising Quixote's delusions, decides to play along rather than reason with him.
What follows is a comical knighting ritual featuring a ledger book instead of holy texts and tavern wenches standing in as noble ladies.
When carriers attempt to move Quixote's armour to access water for their mules, our would-be knight defends his "vigil" with surprising vigour, resulting in some unfortunate injuries and much confusion.
The chapter culminates in Quixote finally receiving his dubious knighthood and preparing to embark on his quest for adventure.
What classic tales would you like to hear next, and which voices would you love to hear read them? Share your thoughts and join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter together!
Sleep Tight,
