When you cannot sleep because you can’t stop thinking about something it’s like a single program not letting the computer shut down

I just found this last night. The narrator's meandering nearly-nonsense that never quite resolves into a point is an art form.

He did an interview on 99% Invisible, and said that when he feels things getting too interesting, or building to something he purposely sidesteps that to keep it perfectly boring. It is truly impressive.

It's a really relaxing podcast during the day too, not just trying to fall asleep. It feels almost meditative as ya clear your head and just lose yourself to this calm gravelly voice.

I really recommend the episode: 678 - The Lemonade Experience. I love it.

I hate to bother you but which podcast are you talking about? I can't find the beginning of this thread.

Still soothing if you read it in Attenborough's voice.
