Sleep Sounds

Sleep Sounds

For the past decade, you’ve trusted the Nighty Night Podcast to give you the most relaxing, soothing, sleep-inducing soundtracks available. So we’d like to apologize for our most recent episodes, which slipped by our usual quality-control measures. These sounds included: Malfunctioning muffler. Pigs in heat. Ocean sounds but where barges are docking. Intermittent drilling. Retching from food poisoning. Broken-up Zoom call. Stabbing into wet meat. Muffled neighbors who won’t stop screaming at each other. Toddler crying not out of necessity, but from vague dissatisfaction. Nearby diarrhea. And finally, blender on its last legs. We promise to do better. Nighty night!
