Rob Harvilla is the host of the hit podcast 60 Songs That Explain the 90s and author of a book of the exact same name. But before he was regaling his listeners with his thoughts on music of that era, Rob was living in that era and making music of his own. Or rather, making music of somebody else's. You see, Sleepyheads, Mr. Harvilla was an open mic musical performer in his college days, in the 90's, in Ohio. And he's going to take you on a music-free tour of the thinking behind his performances back then. Learn the songs that were right in his vocal range as well as the ones well beyond his range that he attempted to sing. Learn how the audience could have been spared this entire phase of his life if he had just found a girl to go to the movies with him to see The Big Lebowski.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Linda Holmes is a best-selling author and one of the hosts of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. But you know what an hour is that wasn't always happy? Melrose Place. Oh, it's true. Melrose Place was a nighttime soap opera in the 1990s and it told the stories of the residents of a fictitious apartment complex in Los Angeles where everyone's lives were complicated. The people were complicated, the relationships were complicated, even the maintenance plans for motorcycles were surprisingly complicated. Linda paid attention, though, and joins us to unravel - and sometimes re-ravel - the intricacies of the first season of Melrose Place. We could have gone on to subsequent seasons but honestly, you won't stay awake through even this update about the first season.

Any biography of Stephen Tobolowsky must mention, and possibly right at the beginning, his performance as Ned Ryerson, the annoying insurance salesman in Groundhog Day. But that's far from the only big credit in Stephen's IMDb page, which also includes films like Memento and Thelma & Louise. Long before he was the hugely successful actor he is today, Stephen was just another guy trying to get by in New York and that's where he met The Most Boring Man in the World, working the afternoon shift at a local bar. Stephen fills us in on that experience in a conversation that will amuse you, delight you, and put you to sleep. We also hear about Stephen's long ramble through New York whilst escaping a tryst he did not care to join.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

You might know Phoebe Judge as the host of the podcast Criminal, now celebrating its tenth year. Depending on where you live, you might also know her for her clamshell driveway because she has one of those. It’s an indication of how very much she loves clams and how much she loves clamming, which is the term for going out to the ocean and digging up clams. Phoebe talks us through the different kinds of clams she encounters from her Cape Cod adventures. More like Cape CLAM, I should say. No, I shouldn’t. Sometimes Phoebe has a hard time giving away all the clams she has dug up, in which case she simply puts the bewildered li’l guys back in the ocean.Mentioned in this episodePhoebe Judge (IG)Phoebe Judge (Twitter)Phoebe’s podcastsCriminalPhoebe Reads a MysteryThis Is LoveHey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Of course, if you were around the Toronto suburbs some years ago and you knew Steven, it’s also possible you know him from his Bar Mitzvah.

If you haven’t seen those, well, don’t worry because he has an IMDb list of credits as long as your arm, even if you have a very long arm. On our program, Zak shares his rather extensive thoughts on laundry: how it should be sorted, whether hot water should be used, and what is the proper way to store one’s T-shirts.

The life of a touring rock n’ roll musician can be very exciting. Fortunately, we leave the exciting parts out in our conversation with the deeply hilarious Kristin Hersh, from the bands Throwing Muses and 50-Foot Wave and a prolific solo career. Kristin, who has a brand new album out on Friday called Clear Pond Blue, takes us through the rock star life but focusing on sedate topics like trying to check in to hotel rooms a little bit early and the methodical nature of venue sound checks.

On the HBO show Barry, for which comedian Emily Heller is a writer, there is a great deal of suspense, gunfire, and overall tension, which would make it hard for those characters to ever get any sleep. And come to think of it, we never see them do so. Fortunately, in real life, Emily has interests that are much more pastoral. She enrolled in a program by which she replaced her lawn with a variety of plants that are much better for water usage in Los Angeles and then the city reimbursed her for the project.

But just about anybody would be noticeable rolling into the town where Andrew Child, one of the writers of the series, lives.

Horror buff Halle knows that crows feature prominently in the genre–and our nightmares–for a reason: they’re crazy smart and are known to hold grudges. In fact, all birds in the Corvus family, like ravens and magpies, are intelligent. They even hold funerals when a fellow bird flies into the next realm.

That show is, of course, a high-energy comedic romp with jokes dropping every few seconds. And that show is not this show. John Ross Bowie, without his funny voice from BBT, joins Sleeping with Celebrities to walk us all through the step-by-step process of baking baguettes. Three of them to be precise. He discusses his use of honey, the formation of “butter gutters”, and whether the end product is useful for sandwiches.

The actor, writer, comedian, and bon vivant Michael Ian Black is an enthusiast of the word game Scrabble and, in particular, the very short two-letter words that can make all the difference in a competitive game. Sure, lots of players want to use long words of seven or even more letters but a well-placed QI or a sly ZA can rack up more points than one might have ever thought possible, and Michael shares, in a lulling monotone, many more two-letterers that the uncareful player might have never considered. We also talk about the historic Scrabble match where FUCKWIT was played to much controversy and point scoring.You’re Not Doing It Right - Michael Ian Black Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Susan Orlean is one of the coolest and best writers we have going in the whole world. This is simply a fact. Why, she wrote The Orchid Thief and The Library Book and Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend. Meryl Streep played Susan, or a version of Susan, in the movie Adaptation, which is certainly not a thing that happens to most of us. With all her credits, you might think Susan Orlean would have someone to organize her life FOR her. Not so. She is, herself, a passionate organizer and she can - and does here - talk about it for great long stretches. Listen in (and drift off) as she advises against falling down the infamous clown toy rabbit hole. Don’t worry, you’ll only fall down the go-to-sleep sleepy hole.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Gary Gulman is a deeply funny and quite tall comedian who has appeared on HBO specials and every late night comedy talk show you can possibly think of and probably a few you’ve never imagined. In this episode, he takes us on a casual stroll around his neighborhood of Harlem, New York. We see the sights, virtually pop in to area restaurants, and, most notably, hear all about Gary’s unique sport of one-on-none basketball. It’s a sport with intricate rules and a high degree of intensity but only one athlete, which is, of course, Gary. You will be nice and sleepy by the time Gary has taken you around his world and up and down the court.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Here are some things you might have done. First, you might have heard James Urbaniak as the voice of Dr. Venture in the hit animated series, The Venture Bros. Secondly, you might have seen James acting in The Fabelmans, Difficult People, Henry Fool, and American Splendor. Thirdly, and most importantly for our program, you may have wished to know a lot more about what it’s like to spend one’s early childhood in Bayonne, New Jersey. Fortunately, James is with us to fill you in and extensively on that third point.

“Sara Schaefer is an American stand-up comedian, writer, and author,” says the website Wikipedia. And who are we to disagree with such a characterization? Our only quibble with this description is that it fails to list her notable status as a miniaturist. That’s right, Sleepyheads, Sara builds tiny, tiny versions of things that are, in real life, quite a bit larger. We think you’ll enjoy this journey into miniaturization and perhaps Sara’s art will make your stresses and worries seem smaller and more manageable as well. Or maybe she’ll just distract you for a while. Sara was born on the same date as our host, John, but ten years later. Other people born on this date include Marcel Proust, Arthur Ashe, and Sofia Vergara.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Jean Grae is a self-described “gender transcendent entity made of fine silks. Multipotentialite autodidact. Genius.” As a 70s kid who lived in NYC’s Chelsea Hotel growing up, she’s seen some things. If you ask Jean what her top five fabrics are, she can give you an answer without having to think too long about it. She can probably out-haggle you at a silk market, and has spent a lot of time researching things like the perfect mattress, and how to organize one’s shelves. Hint: it involves the rule of three. If you want to be inspired to step up your aesthetic game before you fall asleep, you couldn’t be in better hands.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

You may know Baratunde Thurston as the host of the PBS program America Outdoors or as the author of the best-selling book, How to Be Black. Or you may know Baratunde as the guy behind the loud noises coming from his house as he uses a variety of tools to carve up ice. A bread knife, for instance. Baratunde is on a lifelong odyssey to make ice that is as clear as possible, free of the little frost marks you might see in your standard tray in your regular freezer. And he has a lot of thoughts, long and complicated and verbose thoughts, on how to achieve an ice that is an ideal companion to any beverage. Honestly, he knows so much about ice. He thinks about ice more than you thought possible. You won’t even hear all he knows about ice because you will fall asleep.

You might know the Sklar Brothers from your television. They hosted the ESPN Classic program Cheap Seats, acted in Better Call Saul and What We Do in the Shadows, and served as reporters on the series Battlebots, wherein robots fight one another. So Randy and Jason have some exciting credits. But they’re not on our show to be exciting. They’re here to talk about various rule changes in college athletics, including, notably, the transfer portal. Don’t worry, it’s not a magical doorway, it’s merely an intricate system wherein students choose other schools to attend. With two guests on our show, you’re likely to end up asleep twice as fast.

If you’ve been watching The Simpsons lately, you are familiar with the work of Broti Gupta. She plays Bart. No, not really. Broti is a writer for the long-running series as well as being the co-host of the Lecture Hall podcast. On our program, here, this week, Broti sends you off to dreamland with a rundown of the Kenwood Mall, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. At least the mall as it existed ten or so years ago when Broti hung out there as an adolescent. She shares all you need to know about the mall and much of what you don’t really need to know as well.

There was a brief period in the late 60s and early 70s when Jonathan Katz could walk into any table tennis club in the country and know which players, if any, could beat him. There weren’t many, because Katz was an elite player. Before becoming television’s Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, he was the New York State Champion of table tennis. And if had been born in Stockholm, instead of New York, he probably would have been known as a professional table tennis player. Instead, he and his buddy David Mamet used to make extra cash by hustling unsuspecting marks in Chicago.

Linda Holmes is a best-selling author and one of the hosts of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. But you know what an hour is that wasn't always happy? Melrose Place. Oh, it's true. Melrose Place was a nighttime soap opera in the 1990s and it told the stories of the residents of a fictitious apartment complex in Los Angeles where everyone's lives were complicated. The people were complicated, the relationships were complicated, even the maintenance plans for motorcycles were surprisingly complicated. Linda paid attention, though, and joins us to unravel - and sometimes re-ravel - the intricacies of the first season of Melrose Place. We could have gone on to subsequent seasons but honestly, you won't stay awake through even this update about the first season.

She explains it like so, “Imagine it as much as you want, research it as much as you want. You can never truly know what it's like to be a bat, because our conscious experiences are all inherently subjective. Therefore, not only do you not know what it's like to be a bat, you can never truly know what it's like to be another human.”Also, she enjoyed sleeping by the side of a river one time.

Andy Daly’s yard has some day lilies, which he does not particularly enjoy, and some olive trees. Andy likes olives but finds the process of turning an olive from his own tree into an olive he can eat to be pretty challenging because it turns out it takes several steps. Once when he was a boy, his parents gave him some olives as a birthday present because they knew how much he liked olives and they thought it would be funny. Andy didn’t think it was all that funny but they gave him other gifts too so don’t worry. He thinks it would be hard to kill someone with a weed whacker but he’s willing to speculate on how that might happen.He hopes you sleep well and have pleasant dreams.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?
