Drifting Off With Joe Pera is an evening comedy podcast from comedian Joe Pera and composer Ryan Dann. With low-key jokes, immersive soundscapes, and relaxing phone conversations, Joe’s narration and Ryan’s sound design will help you unwind and perhaps even fall asleep.
Featuring guest composers and interviews with interesting folks, the podcast will be released on the first Sunday of every month. Sorry, it's not more often but this is the fastest we can do thoughtful, quality work.

Ep. 3: Video Games ft. Dan Deacon & Roger Clark
Me and my slow reflexes got back into video games after a decade-long break. Figured I would share some thoughts as well as my appreciation for Red Dead Redemption 2. I know I barely scratched the surface but talking with actor Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) was incredible and the original music by Dan Deacon is too.

Customer Reviews
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!
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.
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.
