Looking for a relaxing sleep podcast with calm conversation to help you unwind or drift toward sleep? In this episode of The Insomnia Project, Marco welcomes special guest Shannon McDonough for a gentle and appreciative conversation about the legendary Dolly Parton.

Dolly is a true icon, and Shannon — a devoted Dolly fan — joins Marco to share stories, reflections, and favourite moments connected to Dolly’s remarkable career. Their conversation explores what makes Dolly such a beloved figure in music and popular culture.

Along the way, Marco and Shannon also discover a few things they have in common. From their shared enjoyment of medical dramas to Christmas plays, the discussion meanders through the kinds of small, curious topics that listeners of The Insomnia Project have come to love.

Even with such a bright star as the topic, the conversation remains calm, cozy, and pleasantly low-stakes — perfect for listeners looking for a sleep podcast, relaxing background conversation, or a gentle way to wind down at the end of the day.

And if you don’t make it to the end because you fall asleep, well… you’ve paid us the biggest compliment. 🌙
