    Granular Dramaturgical Notes on the Process of Adaptation

    Granular Dramaturgical Notes on the Process of Adaptation

    What was the process of adapting the Odyssey from a multi-book poem into a three-hander play? That sounds like it would be interesting enough to listen to, but not interesting enough to care about.

Thank you!

I wish I could say more, but I have to go to sleep now! 👍🏻🩷👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🩷🩷🩷👍🏻👍🏻

also works on cats (possibly)

I fall asleep every night to Sleepy Time Mumbles. Dan’s soothing voice also seems to put the cat to sleep (although it can be hard to tell with the cat). The taxi dispatch idea was golden. Thank you, and please keep making the show for all of us who sleep - we need you! 🛌💤🐈🩵

hello you are a nice person ,

I swear to God, this man is one of the good folk. I don’t know what it is, but something about the randomness of the whole thing just doesn’t feel like a regular human being creates it. That being said, he must infuse it with some kind of faerie magic, because I have never found a better sleep podcast.
