#72 - The Fatalistic Forgetfulness Function
Bedtime Stories for Insomniacs - Presented by Rich Hosek
12/24/24 • 18 min
Max Fathom is a self-described Simulation Hacker. He has come to the conclusion that our world—in fact, our entire universe—is nothing more than an massively elaborate computer program, and we are all just bits of code in some cosmic video game.
Most of his friends pass off his world view as a harmless eccentricity. That is until they find themselves at its mercy.

Age, they say, is just a number. But what if you lived your entire life in the same span as a dog, growing up and old in 10 or 15 years rather than 80 or 90.

A writer puts a little bit of themselves into every story they tell... and sometimes, that little bit can come back out!

Holiday Special - Tricked
Bedtime Stories for Insomniacs - Presented by Rich Hosek
10/31/24 • 20 min
Some people love Halloween. The costumes, the candy, children parading to your front door begging for treats.
Harrison Hardigan is not one of those people.
However, he is about to be given a rare gift, a chance to examine the choices and experiences that have made him the man he is, and hopefully learn from them. But will it be enough to make him change?

Bedtime Stories for Insomniacs - Presented by Rich Hosek
05/07/24 • 14 min
Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had the feeling that there was someone else in the room when you were completely alone. Or maybe as you moved from room to room, you felt a chill, a hand touching your shoulder when there was no one there.
Strange things are happening in the Morgan house, and Oscar’s wife is certain it’s ghosts, but will she be able to convince Oscar who knows there's no such thing?

There are many things about sleep that are still a mystery. Some people claim they can control their dreams, or even catch glimpses of the future.
But what if dreaming is more than a state of mind? What if there's an actual place your consciousness goes to while you're asleep. A place where anything is possible...

12/17/24 • 28 min
What is it about the full moon that inspires so many different things. A romantic evening illuminated by its silvery light can be the setting for a heartwarming love story. But hospital emergency rooms claim it's a time that marks an increase in their business.
The full moon can also be a harbinger of things of a more malevolent nature. Creatures you wouldn't want to come upon...

Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
As a novelist, it can be months or even years between books. So, I wanted to give my readers something to tide them over between publication dates. Plus, I had a lot of ideas for short stories that I wanted to get out there right away, rather than trying to chase down the right magazine or anthology. This way, I'm creating my own audio anthology of tales that I hope will entertain and keep you coming back for more!
What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?
I hope you'll get to the end and say to yourself, "I didn't see that coming!"
Which episode should someone start with?
Any of them. They are all stand alone stories that do not require you listen in any particular order.
Which have been your favourite episodes so far?
Some of my favorites are "#4 - The Charlatan's Conundrum," "#6 - White," "#8 - Interrogations in Room #3", "#15 - Howl," "#22 - The New Guy," "#28 - Tricked" and "#29 - The Time Traveler's Dilemma."
Which episode are you most proud of?
#37 - Goldie. It's a retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Only in this version, the girl doesn't get away...
What is your vision for your show?
I hope to include stories from other writers, and perhaps eventually take it into a full-on audio drama for some of the stories.
What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?
Scott Sigler Podcast and The Other Stories
How did you come up with the name for your podcast?
The stories are 20-25 minutes in length, just the right amount of time to wind down with at the end of the day, so, Bedtime Stories. But they're the type of story that's more likely to keep you awake rather than lull you to sleep, so For Insomniacs.
Tell us a bit about yourself
I was a television writer, I had the opportunity to write for shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Star Trek: Voyager and The New Addams Family. I love Doctor Who and Legos and now that there's a Doctor Who Lego set, I'm at peace. Please visit https://RichHosek.com to learn all about me and get a list of all my social media links.
