Read to Me, Ricky is the literary podcast by author/producer Rick Whitaker, who reads good books, stories, poems, and essays aloud for your pleasure, usually paired with some good music. The podcast was formerly called Read Me to Sleep, Ricky, but listeners said the books he read from were too good to fall asleep to. So stay awake, fall asleep, do what you like, as Rick, your host in New York City, puts good words into your ears, brains, and hearts. Recommend the podcast to your friends. And please support it if you can. Thank you!
