Sleep With Me

Podcast · 2013–present · Hosted by Drew Ackerman, as 'Dearest Scooter' (says he has no psychology or sleep-science expertise) · Night Vale Presents (since 2018)

The most boring story you've ever heard, told by someone who wants you to fall asleep before the end.

Who it's for

Ackerman rambles on purpose: his stories wander, loop and go nowhere, giving an overactive mind just enough to follow that it stops chewing on worries but not enough to stay gripped.
