I have been thinking about this . I have my Alexa device read one of my kindle books each night but given the choice of a voice I would love Kirsty Young or Ken Bruce.
By the wy I am loveing Kirsty's podcasts called " Young Again " on BBC sounds .

Well, I can’t say he has the best of voices but I go to sleep listening to Jason Stephenson most nights!

Yes to Nat King Cole singing, and for the spoken word Simon Armitage reading his own poetry.

Michael Palin usually sends me off to sleep. I often listen to one of his travel books and as there isn’t a plot, it doesn’t matter if you wake up and have missed a bit.

I like audio books off BBC sounds and Richard E Grant is reading the Wombles, perfect for a good night's sleep
