    Please don't ever take these down. They are the only thing that calm mind sometimes. Now I can barely remember my life before them. I hope you know how much they help people in more ways than just entertainment.

      I agree. These stories remind me that quality and care still exist in an increasingly slip shod world.
      I keep a horse for the exercise he gives me. It's taken a year to have him shod.
      Will you be surprised it's a slip shod job, in the true, original, sense of that phrase? 😏
      No matter, he can grow more hoof in response to the saddle hiking we're doing. He carries the saddle and we hike!
      As a rescue from the slaughter pen, every step is a victory!
      These stories still drawing a wide, appreciative audience is another victory for civility, professionalism, and decernnent. Thank you so much.❤

    How satisfying it must be to Mr Wagland to know that he has such a myriad of devoted fans. He deserves the praise He really does a splendid job. It’s such a treat for us all to have great old stories superbly interpreted by a real person and wonderfully gifted actor as opposed to having to endure the dreadful AI voices that populate so many audiobooks these days. Great job!

I had no window, but I had Wi-Fi & thus I had you & this channel. I listen to one a night before bed, my father read to me at night. Now you read to me every night Greg Wagland.

    When I was a little girl I used to sneak into the garage, “borrow” my Dad’s transistor radio, put it under my pillow, and fall asleep listening to the Mystery Theatre series.
    I was also a huge fan of ghost and mystery stories and couldn’t wait until I could get my hands on the next Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, or Trixie Belden book.
    I don’t know why, but I never read any of the Sherlock Holmes stories, but I had seen a few of the old movies which I loved.
    When I first discovered your channel I decided to listen to one of the Sherlock Holmes stories and I was instantly hooked.
    You bring these characters to life in such a wonderful way, and your voice is a wonderful bedtime tonic for someone who has suffered from insomnia since her early twenties.
    I have two more to go and I must say I am sad that this journey is coming to an end.
    I am quite fond of Sherlock and Dr. Watson and have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their adventures.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to share these stories and your incredible talents with the World. 🤗🥰
