We currently just found Sleep Tight Science which is knowledge based and low sensory fun. It's neat because my kiddo is kinda absorbing knowledge while she rests.

Precious bedtime podcasts include:

• Ms. Honeybee (not my favorite, listened when they were 3~5)

• Circle Round (original hosts are starting new podcast)

• koala moon (short lived on our part. Not many free stories)

• super great kids stories (circle round vibes, kiddo was a little scared of some stories)

• stories to share (older kid reading books to younger kids. About 5~10 mins each depending on story)

My little one falls asleep to new horizon sleep meditations. I have a few sound files downloaded and will put one on repeat all night (I tried playing them just until she fell asleep, but she woke me up in the middle of the night upset that her stories were off). We still do our normal reading routine (she reads us 1 book, we read a picture book, we read a chapter in a chapter book, then she can look at books by herself until her clock turns red at 8pm) then I put on the meditation and set a timer to stop playing just before her morning routine. It’s worked for the past 6 months or so.
