Beloved comedian, writer, and podcaster Ophira Eisenberg has lived in many places, several of which were part of provinces. That’s because she’s from Canada, which is a little like America but with more healthcare, hockey, and moose. Ophira illuminates us on the correct pronunciations of many major Canadian cities and provides valuable insight into the parka-clad lives of the folks who call Canada home. Let her send you off to the sleep just as calmly as the call of the loon or with the sudden power of a puck to the head.
Listen to beluga whales imitate human voices by going to www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDDgJPKuSf0 or searching "Beluga Whale Sounds Like a Human."
Listen to Ophira Eisenberg's podcast Parenting Is A Joke on the podcatcher of your choice. Learn more about Ophira, her stand-up specials, and tour dates by visiting her website, www.OphiraEisenberg.com.

Before taking the stage as a very popular and acclaimed standup comic, Billy Wayne Davis was a squatting catcher. Billy Wayne played at a high level behind the plate in college baseball and can still describe the intricacies behind helping pitchers get to a calm and relaxed place. Perhaps you will find his voice does the same to you. Plus you have the advantage of not having to throw a baseball at all, which is a good thing you have going for you.
Watch Billy Wayne Davis's stand-up comedy special Testify on Youtube. For tour dates and more information about Billy Wayne Davis, visit his website, www.bwdtour.com.

He’s also pretty enamored of George Carlin, Mel Brooks, Helen Hunt, and his new comedy special, Life, Death & Rice Pudding.

Let him lull you to sleep with his wonderful stories and knowledge on how to pack underwear.

Andrew Ti is a big fan of poker and says the whole thing about everyone having a “tell” is a little overstated. To win at the game, even for the comparatively small amounts he favors, it is less about scrutinizing someone’s behavior than it is about memorizing probability charts enough to know what is most likely to happen in a given scenario. Andrew has a pleasant time playing poker and while he’s not getting rich off it, he’s not losing his shirt either. He still has a shirt. Pull up to his table and get ready for sleep.

We hope the search engines, constantly hunting for yet more Taylor Swift content to satisfy users, appreciate our optimization just as much as veteran comedian Matt Braunger appreciates the T-Swizzle albums Evermore and Folklore. Matt finds these releases, which are far less poppy and boppy than her other works, to be a perfect accompaniment for a long road trip or just being pensive and sensitive around the house. Listen to Matt extol their virtues as you drift off to sleep and shake the wakefulness off.

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to experience the Australian musical comedy group The Wiggles (perhaps you are in preschool or have hung out with someone who is), you know that they bring loads of high-spirited energy to every performance. Lachy Gillespie, the one in purple, shifts to a much, much lower gear for our conversation about his favorite hobby, tennis. You won’t break a sweat listening to this one. You’ll be lulled by the gentle serve and volley of the conversation, tinged with that lovely Down Under accent.
Lachy and his fellow Wiggle Simon Pryce host a new podcast! Listen to Wiggle Talk - A Podcast for Parents by going to www.TheWiggles.com/podcast or on the podcasting app of your choice.

If you love movies, especially if you love movies that tried their hardest but were comically unsuccessful, you may already know Dan McCoy as one of the hosts of Maximum Fun’s podcast, The Flop House. Besides being a film buff, Dan’s a former writer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and an enthusiastic fan of Disney’s Uncle Scrooge McDuck, the wealthiest duck in the world. Dan shares his well-modulated fandom for the arcana and the minutiae of Uncle Scrooge and soon it’s like you’re sleeping in a mountain of gold coins.

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of CD binders, then you are either too young to have ever used them or, perhaps, far too old. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of Lennon Parham, then you are just not a person who enjoys television and entertainment. She has been featured in Veep, Arrested Development, Mad Men, and a variety of other shows you already enjoy, so quit acting like you don’t know who she is. Seriously, cut it out. Lennon lulls you to sleep by walking through her semi-carefully organized CD collection and tells stories about acquiring each one, something you can’t do with Spotify, you punk kids.

You might have seen veteran comedic actor Kyle Bornheimer as Teddy, the ex-boyfriend who loves pilsners on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. In real life, Kyle has equally powerful thoughts about salads, including that all salads should be chopped salads. Let him guide you through important salad thoughts as you drift off to sleep.

You remember Mara Wilson as a young girl starring in films such as Matilda, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Miracle on 34th Street. You probably don’t remember her in Idyllwild Arts Academy, because that was not a film but an arts-based boarding school in California and you probably didn’t go there with her. In this languid and relaxing interview, Mara shares her stories and experiences at a school where, unlike her films, there was no telekinesis, Robin Williams dressed up like a lady, or real Santa Clauses.
Follow Mara Wilson on Instagram @marawilson. Get your copy of Mara Wilson's book, Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, wherever books are sold.

You may know Griffin Newman from his roles as Arthur on The Tick, Orko on Masters of the Universe Revelations, Watto on The George Lucas Talk Show, or as Kevin Costner’s surprisingly fiery intern in Draft Day. Or maybe you know him from the message boards talking up the Palisades Toys Muppet action figures of the early to mid-aughts, where he had quite a lot to say about the intricacies involved in the brief but (to Griffin) memorable run the toys had. Let him tell you all about it. Or start to. You’ll be asleep before you know it.

You might know actor Jessica St. Clair from the television comedies Review and Space Force, her new audiobook, The Art of Small Talk (co-written with Casey Wilson), or from any bookstore that has a special section of books where a woman throws away her American life and runs away to the French countryside. Turns out, there are A LOT of such books and Jessica’s read well over 40 of them. She gently and hilariously shares her fascination with the genre, the ideas behind it, and the trepidation her comedy partner and husband have with such notions.
Get your copy of The Art of Small Talk by Casey Wilson and Jessica St. Clair wherever audiobooks are sold. Listen to Jessica's podcast with June Diane Raphael, The Deep Dive, wherever fine pods are cast.

Matt Young, Adal Rifai, and Arnie Niekamp are well-known to fans of their podcast Hello from the Magic Tavernas Usidore the Wizard, Chunt the Badger, and, well, Arnie Niekamp. They step out of character to join John Moe for a broad ranging, fairly vague, and very entertaining journey through movies that they all saw a long time ago but don’t remember all that well. Was Jessica Tandy in all movies from the early eighties? Did she die in all of them? And what was the plot of Batteries Not Included anyway? You’ll gently ponder these questions as you doze off.

Of course you know Allison Rosen because she’s your best friend. How could you not know the host of the podcast Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend? Alison spent her childhood being friends to a great number of birds, including baby chicks that grew into chickens, baby ducklings that grew into ducks, and a quail named Robert who pretty much just stayed a quail named Robert. Everyone involved in this bird relationship had the best of intentions and for the most part things worked out okay. This is one of our only episodes to feature the word “cloaca” but it’s not used much and you should get to sleep just fine.

Music fans know Rhett Miller as the lead singer of Old 97’s, a beloved band that has released 13 studio bang-up albums over the last 30 years, including 2024’s American Primitive. Disc golf players, of which Rhett is a dedicated one, think of him as a disc golfer, which he is, as I just said. Besides, they’re too busy getting annoyed at people calling it Frisbee golf. In this soothing, beddy-bye interview, Rhett walks us through the sport, and also explains why Wikipedia lists five Old 97’s band members. The fifth member? Fred Armisen. Although Rhett’s explanation is quite amusing, don’t worry. You’ll still be asleep by the final hole. Well, not a hole so much as a basket, of course.
Want to see what Rhett is up to?
This LinkTree account of his can point you to all things Rhett.

Here’s the truth, if you’re ready for it: airline miles programs are a convenient way to earn upgrades and passage to exclusive pre-flight lounges but they do require some degree of careful record keeping. So that information doesn’t so much blow you away as blow you gently whilst you stay in place. Todd Barry has been a comedy icon for decades as well as an actor in, for instance, The Wrestler and Flight of the Conchords. He also flies a lot and is rewarded for doing so. Let him tell you about it as you drift off.

Is this a feat that the beloved author, actor, and host of Maximum Fun’s Judge John Hodgman can actually pull off? Well, no, probably not. There are over 4,600 such islands and he’s only one mortal human. Come on. But will he make a pretty game attempt for a little while and invite you to join his efforts as you drift off to sleep? Oh yes. Oh absolutely yes. And together, we’ll learn about geodesic domes along the way and that will be neat.

In that he, Josh, the notable comedian and all-around nice guy, GETS his dog, Bizzy. Josh understands Bizzy. Which is important because Bizzy, a pug, is seventeen dang years old. Which is really very old for a dog. As of the taping of this interview and, we hope, the airing of this podcast, Bizzy is still alive and we certainly hope that remains the case for as long as, well, we just like this dog quite a bit. In order to lull you to sleep, Josh explains the life of Bizzy, her peculiarities, her needs, her habits, her preferences, and all that goes into caring for a very good girl in Brooklyn. Who’s a good girl? Bizzy is. Yes, she is. Yes, she is.
