Friends Beyond the Binary, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for the podcast. and

gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for the podcaster that's here to keep you company in the deep dark night.

To take your mind off of stuff with a silly bedtime story and make things just feel less

alone. Take your mind off of whatever's keeping your wake and say hey at least I

got some dull company a little silly, a little bit goofy.

And the reason to make your show, one I know how it feels and so to a lot of other people

listening in the deep dark night and not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep or waking up a lot

whatever it is there's somebody listening that can relate to what you're dealing

with but also you deserve a good night sleep that's why I make the show you deserve a good night's sleep. That's why I make the show. You deserve a friend in the deep dark night. So see how this show goes for most people it takes a couple tries to get used to

Just because the show is so different What I'll do or what we got coming up here structurally is support. That's how the show stays free for everybody who wants to listen for free and you can always pay if you don't like

listen to the ads then there's a long meandering intro meant to ease you into bedtime

it is a show within a show you don't want to miss out on it at least at first

You never know might put you to sleep then there'll be a bedtime story I think it's going to be a board game

on boxing

But I'm not not 100% sure because I haven't done it yet you know stuff comes up stuff happens with this show and then what else what am I not remembering?

How's the show work then?

Oh, then there's thank you, it's at the end.

I think that's everything.

I'm really glad you're here.

I work really hard, uh, and I real hope the show can keep you company while you fall asleep.

And these sponsors are how we're able to do it for you for free choice a week.
