from PRX.

Friends beyond the binary, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

It's time for a podcaster and a podcast.

It's here to keep you company, and ideally to bring you sleepy joy into light in the deep dark night to be here

hanging out with you.

Ideally to change your relationship with sleep.

I was trying to think of something grand to say.

But it's just grand to have you here.

Really, like, I hope you could hear it in my voice.

Even when I try to say, this is going to be the best intro ever, and then it didn't quite materialize.

I wanted to make a grand gesture on your behalf because that's how much helping you in the deep

dark night means to me. I want to bring you sleeping joy and delight because that's what brings

me sleepy joy and delight in the deep dark night is keeping you company, taking your mind

off of stuff and helping you fall asleep. It means so much to me.

And I'll talk more about it here coming up.

But welcome to the show.

If you're new, you're coming back after a break or, you know, you just visit whenever you need this show.

Or you listen to like eight, ten episodes a night.

So you're in the thousands and thousands of episodes.

I'm glad you're here. What we got coming up is support. And paying for the show is optional. It's only for those rebels who get the most out of the podcast and decide, I love this free podcast so much I'm going to pay for it. So if you're new or you only listen occasionally or you're not in a place where

supporting the show is something you're interested in or you can do, you know,

don't worry, we got you.
