Season 1 Ep. 3: Video Games ft. Dan Deacon & Roger Clark
Drifting Off with Joe Pera: A Sleep Podcast
04/02/23 • 23 min
Me and my slow reflexes got back into video games after a decade-long break. Figured I would share some thoughts as well as my appreciation for Red Dead Redemption 2. I know I barely scratched the surface but talking with actor Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) was incredible and the original music by Dan Deacon is too.

Hey Drifters,
Ryan here. Drifting Off is on hiatus, but I want to keep making stuff. So I’m starting an audio project I’ve wanted to do for a while called the Holland Patent Postal Union in which I write audio letters to people. It might not put you to sleep, but if you’ve enjoyed the music and sound design aspect of Drifting Off, the Holland Patent Postal Union is going to dig a little deeper in that direction.
Joe, Grant, and I appreciate all the support you’ve given us this past year, and personally it was some of my favorite work. If you like what you hear and want to hear more, consider signing up over at the Patreon (link below) for early access and exclusive stuff or keep an eye out for episodes at the usual podcast spots in a few weeks. Thanks for listening!

Drifting Off Season 2 is Here
Drifting Off with Joe Pera: A Sleep Podcast
01/10/25 • 0 min
Comedian Joe Pera & Ryan Dann's Sleep Podcast returns next Monday...
All Episodes are free and ad-free on Patreon. Each month we’ll also post 1 Max Drift Episode (an 8 hour extended version) and 2 Readings to Doze To (30 min readings) for paid subscribers.This month Joe is reading 'My Antonia', that you can either appreciate as literature or just some white noise to fall asleep to.

Important Update: Subscribing on your desktop is less expensive than on your iPhone
Apple is requiring new memberships purchased in the iOS Patreon app will be subject to their 30% App Store fee. Not cool but easy to avoid by just using a desktop.
They’re slowly rolling this out for all Creators, so if you see the membership tier options are higher than $3, $5, $10, and $25 USD, respectively, Apple is raising the price on your phone. Now that’s monopoly power!
**If you’re already a member of the Patreon, this fee does not apply to you.

Season 1 Ep. 12: Australia and its Greatest Horse ft. Cut Worms
Drifting Off with Joe Pera: A Sleep Podcast
01/22/24 • 31 min
Drifting Off Live in Brooklyn, February 24th: https://wl.seetickets.us/event/joe-pera/578625?afflky=Murmrr
I am excited to share with you this new episode, a trip to a place where it is currently summer, Australia.
Not that you and I are afraid of the cold but a number of coincidences have been pointing me towards that weird southern continent lately so I figured we’d see what it’s about. I called some comedians I know from the region and asked them to share what’s going on. They’re some of my favorites so I included some of their work as well as a link to the new album by Cut Worms who composed the score for us this month.
I also wanted to let you know that after this episode, we’ll be taking a break for a bit. It’s just a lot to manage while touring and I want to make sure all of the episodes are special and high-quality.
Thank you so much for your support this past year - we always wanted to continue our previous sleep work and you gave us the opportunity to create 12 new pieces (including WaterfallTV), not to mention the extended editions.
It means a lot to us and all the musicians and comics you supported well. We hope you got some good laughs and good nights of sleep while listening.
We’ll be back but in the meanwhile, follow Ryan on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollandpatentpubliclibrary/
Thanks again and we hope you’ll enjoy the episode,
Joe and Ryan and Grant
