#1433 Let me bore you to sleep | Trivia Tuesday | Jason Newland | 16th September 2025

🎙 Title: Let Me Bore You to Sleep #1433 – Trivia Tuesday (Shortest Days, Longest Rambles) 📄 Description (Spreaker-formatted, ready to paste): Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep, I’m Jason Newland. It's Trivia Tuesday... or actually Wednesday. I missed Tuesday. Oops. 😴 In this extra-dull, extra-soothing episode, I take you on a rambling journey that begins with the trivia of shortest and longest days around the world — and ends somewhere in a memory of selling comedy albums to a policeman and having cold hands in 1990. Also: Vinny cuddles, night shift chaos, and a Buddhist fire exit incident. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. 🙏
