• World Cup Fever, Napkin Etiquette & The Great Bath vs. Shower Debate 18.06.2026 28мин

  Some episodes have a plan. This one doesn't — and that's exactly the charm. After putting out a call for listener suggestions, Amanda and Marco let this episode go wherever it wants, bouncing from World Cup fever to napkin etiquette to the age-old bath vs. shower debate, with a detour into one of Amanda's recipes along the way. If you're looking for a sleep podcast to fall asleep to tonight, this is the kind of meandering, low-stakes conversation that's perfect for insomnia and overthinking brains that just need something gentle to hold onto.It starts with World Cup fever — not really about the soccer itself, more about the feeling of a global event taking over group chats and small talk everywhere you go. From there, somehow, napkins enter the chat (how we use them, fold them, forget them), which tumbles into the eternal household debate: bath or shower? Amanda and Marco take sides, neither remembers exactly how they got there, and then Amanda shares one of her own recipes, because apparently that's just where the conversation wanted to go next.Whether you're someone who actually has strong feelings about napkin folding or you're just here for the soft, unscripted rambling, this episode is perfect for letting your brain unclench before bed.What we talk about:Listener-submitted topics and how we picked themWorld Cup fever and the strange social energy of big global eventsNapkins: folding, usage, and the etiquette nobody agrees onThe bath vs. shower debate, settled (sort of)Amanda shares one of her go-to recipesHow a conversation can drift from soccer to soup without anyone noticingThe joy of an episode with absolutely no agendaThis episode is perfect for:Falling asleep to a conversation with zero pressure to follow a plotInsomnia sufferers who want company without stimulationAnyone who likes hearing two people gently disagree about bath timeFans of low-stakes household debatesListeners who submitted a topic and want to hear if it made the cutThe Insomnia Project is a podcast for overthinkers, insomniacs, and anyone who just needs a calm voice to drift off to.

• Sleep Podcast: Who’s Crockett and Who’s Tubbs? | The Insomnia Project 11.03.2026 27мин

  A new piece of podcast gear has Marco feeling especially jazzed in this episode of The Insomnia Project — and naturally that excitement leads the conversation in some unexpected directions.What begins as a chat about the podcast’s new preamp quickly drifts into the world of jazz hands and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse. Marco confidently recalls details about Fosse’s life, only to realize mid-conversation that he may have gotten one key detail wrong… which leads the hosts to rediscover that the answer was, in fact, Anne Reinking.From there the conversation gently wanders, as it often does, into the world of The Insomnia Project itself. Marco mentions that the entire catalogue of episodes is now available on YouTube, which he believes gives the show a bit of a Miami Vice vibe. Amanda isn’t entirely convinced and naturally asks the important question: if this podcast were Miami Vice… who would be Crockett and who would be Tubbs?Along the way, the hosts also share their love for two wonderful spots in Ottawa, Ontario — The Scone Witch, known for their legendary scones, and Bar Cosenza, a cozy Italian café that feels like a hidden neighbourhood gem.Even though Amanda was feeling a little under the weather during this recording, the conversation turned into one of those warm, gentle episodes that The Insomnia Project does best — a calm and meandering chat about everyday things that might just help you relax, unwind, and drift toward sleep.You may find yourself nodding off somewhere between podcast gear talk, Broadway trivia, and a craving for a really good scone.If you enjoy relaxing conversations that wander through curious little topics, press play and spend a quiet moment with us. And if the episode helps you unwind or fall asleep, consider sharing The Insomnia Project with a friend who could use a little calm in their day.• Follow The Scone Witch – https://www.instagram.com/sconewitch/• Follow Bar Cosenza – https://www.instagram.com/barcosenza• Add Free episodes available on Supercast – https://theinsomniaproject.supercast.comFollow The Insomnia ProjectYouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@theinsomniaprojectWebsite – https://theinsomniaproject.comLeave a review and help other listeners discover the podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com📸 Follow us on Instagram:www.instagram.com/theinsomniaproject📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube:www.youtube.com/@theinsomniaprojectpodcast☕ Support the show and get bonus chats on Patreon:www.patreon.com/theinsomniaproject😴 Enjoy ad-free episodes and extras on Supercast:www.theinsomniaproject.supercast.com Hosted on Acast.
