Podcast: The Sink: A Sleep Aid (LS 44 · TOP 1.5% what is this?)
Episode: Session One: Wet Ham Slice
Pub date: 2020-10-28
Notes from The Listener:
Part 'help to sleep' meditation, part dark comedy sketch show, part binaural soundscape. This show is difficult to define, which is why it is such a pleasurable piece — even for the most jaded and omnivorous listener, it will be surprising. The humour is akin to the peculiarly British bleakness of something like The League of Gentlemen or the work of Chris Morris. Familiarity with ubiquitous wellness apps like Calm or Headspace can add an extra layer of enjoyment, since the writer is parodying our desire for dreamless oblivion
New subject beginning Sink treatments. Subject has been having an “absolute full shocker” of a year. Symptoms include:
