The Bedtime Stories Podcast has relaunched!

[@BedtimeStoriesChannel]

A huge THANK YOU to Ballen Studios for such a great opportunity! We wish to make it clear that this partnership extends to the audio podcast only, not the KZbin channel. The old version of the Bedtime Stories audio podcast has been pulled down and is in the process of being remastered and repurposed, so we'll have a nice variety of brand new episodes mixed in with many of our classics! As far as the KZbin channel goes, it's business as usual, although we still hope to do a mini collaboration with Mr. Ballen in the future! The podcast should be available on all platforms, but here are the the links to the top three: *Spotify:* spotify.link/hJciJkAYiDb *Apple:* apple.co/ballenbedtimestories *Amazon:* music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/2d32e82c-71cb-4716-8e5a-b226f3457f76/bedtime-stories?ref=dm_sh_YiW84XStak7n1zXbNnmfpCgG9

[@GeneralELL]

Love this channel. Im not too much into the paranormal but its great to see a channel that remembers that english is more than some hundred words grouped in a few pre baked phrases

[@thickasabrik]

Congratulations! I have a huge playlist of KZbin videos (and Wartime Stories too!) that I converted to MP3 so I can listen to them at bedtime. Looking really forward to your new podcasts as well. Loved the recent video on the Ghosts of Flight 401 - I love that your re-visiting the stuff that was popular in the 70s. The Philadelphia Experiment, etc. How about the Amytville Horror? The Bermuda Triangle? Edward Cayce? The Stanley Hotel? All that wonderful stupid garbage that made us shiver in the 70s! Everything old can be made new again😉

[@juneyshu6197]

They did well on 401.

[@Kolad436]

Well good, after watching mrballen explode in fame after cover several of the same topics you did, it's great that you guys are getting recognized!

Bedtime Stories 🤝 MrBallen. _"A surprise to be sure, to be sure, but a welcome one."_

[@damienbythrow2609]

Would literally listen to the old podcast in bed while dozing off - sometimes that even meant replaying an episode 3 or 4 times so that I could hear how it ended! I've been wondering where it had gone and am thrilled to hear that it will be back! And just in time for Halloween!

[@b0zz1380y]

What is everyone’s fascination with Mr Ballen? The guy needs a script writer. I remember my breaking point was where his story consisted of “and then he was like, and she was like, and they were like”. There are levels and Ballen is mildly above chills

[@tech-bore8839]

Ballen needs to put in actual creative effort. At least BTS puts lots of effort into each episode with narration, illustrations, music, etc. Ballen tells stories like some half-assed Tiktoker, complete with clickbait and stock images.

[@vash121086]

I’ll be honest I personally prefer the KZbin channel because the pictures hand drawn style is beautiful and very well done. I only listen to one podcast and that’s only when a new episode is uploaded. I hope you guys are successful and I look forward to the next KZbin video you upload.

[@richardcerritos7725]

Illustrations do round out the whole story telling experience.

[@lailiakadaisy]

Always a delight to find a good storyteller on youtube. And if Mr. Ballen says you're a good storyteller then you must be alright. I look forward to tucking into your dark bedtime stories.

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

BTS and Mr Ballen, this is the partnership we diderot know we needed

[@uncleberdo5706]

I want more Bedtime Stories! I do hope they adhere to ‘old mr ballen’ type entertainment ( if influenced), i stopped listening to him 3 years ago because he kept reiterating content just to take up more time, and he posted multiple videos of the same content. We aint fools bro, let’s get professional/streamlined content like your old stuff. Bedtime Stories, your videos are fire, dont change a damn thing!!!

[@fffrrraannkk]

Mr. Ballen's oldest video is like 3 and 1/2 years old, and I've never heard him talk about the same thing twice on youtube. What are you talking about? I'm honestly asking, and not trying to be a jerk.

[@Calthrow]

​@@fffrrraannkkI think they may mean the Thursday podcast that is popular KZbin episodes for those that only listen to the podcast. She many not know that that is designed so he dose not burn out and get overwhelmed

[@smokeeater917]

Agreed! His first year of content was amazing. Then it turned into click bait spam with all filler and no real content. It just seemed like it turned from believable real world stories to a bunch of half-assed Reddit posts.

[@TheQueenOfSheba]

@@Calthrowhe even says that those podcasts are redos. Dude above is making it sound like it’s some crazy thing going on lmao.

[@Calthrow]

@TheQueenOfSheba only half of the podcasts are redos and even says so in the introduction. When they come from KZbin, I can say with confidence that is the only repost he dose. I have listened to his Monday podcast when it is an original and all his KZbin. None have been a rehash of old ones, though they may be on stories that others may have covered in the past. He is one of the few who give new stories every week.

The first step in bringing Bedtime Stories under the ownership of Ballen Studios I suspect. I know they are in talks with other channels. John is just a cog in a machine now. Ballen Studios are looking at ways to aggressively expand.

[@susangarland6869]

And good for him. That's the American Dream: working hard and making tons of money doing what you love. And good for Bedtime Stories for going after the same prize.

It seems a little fishy because the “new podcast episodes” are literally just the audios of old videos on the channel

[@tech-bore8839]

"under the ownership of Ballen Studios" Well there's a red flag. If Ballen wants to "expand", he should do it on his own without absorbing other better quality channels.

[@whoayoitslaur]

OH THANK GOODNESS!!! You don't know how stressed I've been since I realized the episodes were no longer available. I have to get up early in the mornings to take some medication, and this show is the ONLY thing that reliably helps me get back to sleep until a more reasonable time. I tried playing a few on youtube but the experience just wasn't the same, and I promptly gave up on that after only two attempts. THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!

[@BudGreene87]

Sad to see people hating on MrBallen in these comments. Mr Ballen rules! He’s a great story teller and he’s a former US Navy SEAL! He has excellent content and his channel’s popularity is helping to bring some of these paranormal topics further into the mainstream. He also seems to be a strong advocate for the existence of UFOs/UAPs and NHI. He has a charity that has raised a ton of money for victims of violent crime, which is an appropriate thing for him to do, since he is capitalizing on their stories with his channel, so he did the right thing and gave back to the families in the process. Mr Ballen is just an all around good dude with a great KZbin channel, and despite the graphic nature of his content he still keeps it wholesome in a way, always respectful and mature. Very happy to see my 2 Fav channels doing this collab.

Great news. Long felt and expressed that this channel would grow even bigger if it started posting more regular episodes. It seemed that illustration efforts involved meant lead times between shows was weeks/months at a time. Its a no brainer that audio only episodes to increase frequency is the way forward. Most listeners I imagine only listen to this show in any case and don't watch it, though I believe the illustrations are great. Best of luck team. Great to have a regular schedule to look forward to going into the winter nights.
