Asleep in 10 mins
It works - This podcast puts me to sleep within 10 minutes! 10/10
Charmingly dull—that takes skill!
This podcast amuses me so much and I look forward to each episode. I can listen to the same episode many times and not get bored, because I always drift off. I want to make it to the end because I amused with how cleverly and easily they pivot from one dull topic to another. Sometimes I have to listen in the daytime just to observe how they do it and it always makes me laugh. It takes a lot of skill for two obviously intelligent and funny people to be earnestly dull for 26 minutes!
