Podcast to Fall Asleep to

My hair's getting long.

Usually when I repost an old episode, it's due to poor planning/laziness on my part. This week, however, it's due to something that came up last minute that was totally out of my control. This episode was originally released on June 7, 2020 and because of boring technical stuff that I won't get into, the original file got screwed up so this is actually the track ripped from the internet and then uploaded again. How will that affect the audio quality? We all get to find that out together. This is another important episode. If you want a mental escape from the world, I suggest listening to an older episode (older than last week's episode). Much love. Black lives matter.

There are some helicopters and sirens in this episode, which I would have made a greater effort to avoid if this was the type of show people listened to while driving, but nobody should ever listen to this show while driving (because it can cause drowsiness). Anyway, although there is so much more to do in order to help create a safer, more equitable, more compassionate society, we have earned (in my opinion) a moment to relax for at least a couple days. Be happy. Spread love. Sweet dreams.

This episode was originally released on September 15, 2019. It seemed like something worth hearing again. Everything will be ok, even if it seems hard right now. Changes might be scary, but they are not impossible. Everything will be alright and turn out fine. Much love.

I keep reading from the Official Voter Information Guide for the California General Election this upcoming November 3. I finish reading the summaries of props 23-25. Remember to vote No on Prop 22 and No on Prop 20, if you're in California. Sweet dreams.

I continue reading through state propositions on the California ballot for the upcoming election on November 3 and, not gonna lie, I get a little heated. This definitely isn't a chill episode at certain parts. As much as I've been trying to just read through this thing without commentary, I have to say vote no on props 20 and 22. 22 is the big one where the misinformation campaign in support of it has really gotten a lot of people confused, but Prop 22 will only hurt workers if it passes. Please vote NO on 22. And No on 20. Anyway, if you want a chill episode go listen to something from the back catalogue. Much love and sweet dreams.

I continue reading from the Official Voter Information Guide for the California General Election on Tuesday, November 3. Sweet dreams.

I read through some of the Official Voter Information Guide for the California General Election on Tuesday, November 3. Also, there are crickets. Also, please vote. Also, sweet dreams.

My fellow Americans, there's still time to fill out the census. Please do it. This episode originally released on April 5, 2020. Listeners in the USA: do the census. And if you live somewhere else but they're also doing a census, probably do that. And be nice to animals. And be nice to yourself. Sweet dreams.

I am taking a break this week. Rest up, be kind, and take care of those around you. This episode was originally released on July 7, 2019. After the 7.1 or 6.9 (or whatever the measurements end up being) earthquake on July 5, I talk about the recent earthquakes in Southern California (their epicenters were over 100 miles from me, but we still felt them) and read some of the info from the website www.ready.gov/earthquakes. Sweet dreams.

A look back on the third year of the podcast.

I was going to record a new episode this week but it's soooo hot (over 100 F today--I think it was like 43 C for international listeners?) and I don't want to turn off the fans and stuff for 30 minutes to record, so here's an old episode that's, sadly, still relevant. This episode was originally released on June 28, 2020. Black lives matter. Black lives are also disproportionately endangered by the pandemic. One of the easiest ways to help? Wear a mask. Also, if you want to be a member of society in any meaningful way, WEAR A MASK.

There is a time to deal with all the craziness in the world and that time is not while you listen to this episode. This episode is for relaxing and taking the train to sleepytown. Sweet dreams.

I do some of the ending talky stuff in the first half and talk about Producers Melvin and Moose's preferences on beer can cat costumes.

I have been regularly using the United States Postal Service for a long time.
