    So calming
    It’s hit or miss as to whether it will actually help me sleep, but it’s so interesting and calming to hear. I have insomnia, so there isn’t much that I can do to guarantee sleep but this has helped more than a LOT of other things I’ve tried. Worth a listen, even if you’re not trying to fall asleep.

    finally!!!
    When I saw the notification of SEASON 2 of drifting off I almost cried. I’ve been waiting so long for this next season. I found this podcast randomly when I was living abroad and having a hard time fixing my sleep schedule with time zones. Plus the loneliness of moving somewhere completely new on my own was scary and this podcast honestly calmed my anxiety and help me fall asleep so fast. My sleep doesn’t feel complete without joes voice so I’ve found myself listening to the first season on repeat again and again. Finally!! Thanks Joe for gettin back behind that mic to talk us to sleep xoxox

    Sleep
    Thank you Joe! This podcast has gotten me through so many restless nights and lulled me to a peaceful sleep every time I listen. I do wish he talked longer but other than that, perfection.

    Great podcast - Distracting Ads
    I really enjoy this sleep podcast. However, I find the addition of ads in season 2 very distracting. The ads woke me up at the end of episode 1. I think it would be more effective if Joe Pera read the ads like in some other podcasts. That way he can still receive ad revenue but won’t distract from the sleep aspect of this podcast.

    One of my Favorite shows!
    I love this show! Joe Pera is a very unique comedian and I cherish this pod. Also, his show Joe Pera Talks with You gives a similar feel
  • Berio))))
    Thank you for a great podcast
    I was already a big fan of Joe Pera’s but just recently found out about this podcast. The soup episode will always remind me of eating the last chicken noodle soup my mom made, trying to memorize its taste and the way the broth looked.

    Writing this while asleep
    I love sleeping with Joe Pera! Not like that though. This man is a lullaby legend. Season two is a dream come true. I’m already asleep.

    Love me Joe Pera!
    I love his show Joe Pera Talks With You such a genuinely a sweet and wholesome and hilarious show and amazing and it’s sad got canceled. But this podcast very great Joe does amazing job striking blance honestly very relaxing stuff but funny stuff too also actually engaging stuff. I’m hoping Joe Pera will soon return for the podcast I’m sure he is because he is finally back after touring which I got the great honor to see one of his live show very hilarious and great stuff but fair enough if he needs some time before that happens lots sort of many reasons and he absolutely has right to take time he needs he clearly cares and want quality over quantity very sweet but I am very looking forward to the return this podcast whenever it is.

    Inspiring
    Long time Joe fan but first time classical music listener. The episode on clarinet inspired me to listen on my own and now when I need a peaceful moment I put some clarinet on in my headphones and enjoy :)

    this podcast is just a ℳ𝒶𝓈𝓉ℯ𝓇𝓅𝒾ℯ𝒸ℯ 🤌 Joes’s voice is so soothing, and the humor is so nonchalant. He’s like a grandpa ♡ Truly love this and if ur wanting a relaxing podcast w a pinch of humor.
  • oscar-worthy
    Good, but I have a few issues.
    I was listening to the video games episode, and I have an issue with putting “the west wasn’t won/stolen” into the video. Any historian can tell you that literally every culture (yes including the natives) took land from enemies and expanded as far as possible. What I’m trying to say it’s not really stealing as we would know it.

    Gentle Charm
    Every episode is different and expertly produced. Joe Pera provides respite and quite delights in the characteristic matrix of good-naturedness he weaves.

    if you have insomnia or ruminating thoughts, this will do a great job diverting your attention to some wholesome, funny, and surprisingly fascinating content. i’ve been learning so many fun facts from listening ! it’s so engaging that i can’t fall asleep until it ends, but i do fall asleep the moment it does :) lots of love <3

    Thank you, Joe and Ryan!
  • Amomzon is great
    Perfect for calming down.
    I love this podcast. I used to watch the Videos on AS and YouTube of “Joe Pera talks to you sleep”. I think there is something so comforting about Joe and his guest stars talking about normal non political topics. It’s something most anyone can relate too and understand. Thank you Joe!

    Clarinet!
    I’ve played the clarinet since I was 9, using my fathers yamaha clarinet from his childhood. I love playing it, and my time spent in local music stores has always been joyous. Joe captured my love for music so perfectly it brought me to happy nostalgic tears. Thank you Joe, everything you’ve done has heart in it, something not everyone can do.
  • Blooktastic
    Reminiscent of Childhood
    This harkens back to the days when I would listen to "The Great White North Album" on cassette while drifting off on a school night. It's wonderful to have Joe's soothing voice and dry sense of humor take listeners on dreamy journeys into his imagination. The music score and ambient sound effects add to the overall soft tone of a bedtime story. My only complaint is that there aren't more episodes available. Keep them coming, and I will keep listening. Even if there are no new episodes, I will continue to play the ones I already have again and again just like I did with Bob and Doug McKenzie as a child. Good day!
  • Technodan10
    Joe could marry my mom
    And I’d be the happiest 31 year old you’ve ever met. His love of detail, perfect cadence, and genuine appreciation of an average life brings me more joy than I can possibly express. I’m really grateful to him, he’s helped me through some tough times.
  • Kac1976
    Episode 7 was PERFECTION
    I appreciate the artistry and hard work that goes into the regular episodes, but I often find them too distracting and jangly for bedtime. Please consider doing more simple episodes like #7! Listening to Joe just read and ramble on about various things makes me feel so happy and sleepy.
  • I never have cash ever
    oh hello
