🔗 View Transcript

🧠 Main Theme: Jason offers a slow-paced, stream-of-consciousness update on his week, focusing on technical struggles with podcast distribution, website updates, and reflections on his recording process — all delivered in his signature hypnotic, meandering tone to help listeners drift off to sleep.

📌 Key Points & Topics Covered: 🛠️ 1. Podcast Hosting Chaos

Jason spent the entire week resolving issues with Apple Podcasts, where his episodes were no longer updating.

He suspects the issue stemmed from too many duplicate podcast feeds, confusing Apple’s indexing system.

After a lot of trial-and-error and ChatGPT-assisted research, he narrowed it down to one active podcast per title (e.g. Let Me Bore You to Sleep, Hypnosis for Sleeping Deeply, etc.).

🌐 2. Website Overhaul

He made the decision to shut down letmeboreyoutosleep.com due to cost and revert back to his long-standing domain jasonnewland.com.

The new site includes:

Embedded players for streaming

Transcription links (like this one!)

Links to major podcast platforms: Apple, Spotify, etc.

Plans to add direct MP3 download buttons for each recording.

🐾 3. Vinny Updates (Dog Content!)

Vinny chased a fly unsuccessfully all day.

He prefers rotten apples off the ground to fresh ones bought from the store.

Jason talks gently to Vinny, offering affection and sharing food (but not salad).

📈 4. Listener Stats & Platforms

He checks podcast analytics and notes:

Historically, 84% of his listeners came from Apple Podcasts.

Recently, usage has shifted:

Podcast Addict: 37%

Apple Podcasts: 33%

Overcast: 20%

Other platforms include Spotify, Castbox, iVoox, Amazon, Deezer, etc.

📡 5. SEO & Search Visibility

Jason tests how well his podcasts show up on Google, Bing, and podcast directories.

Finds outdated listings and duplicate feeds that are no longer functional.

Starts adding clean, direct Apple Podcast links on his site for all 8 active shows.

🔧 6. Future Plans

Add a page to his site with clearly listed podcast links by platform.

Continue updating his podcast pages on Facebook and other socials.

Improve download functionality to make access easier for listeners.

🧘‍♂️ Tone & Delivery

Jason’s speech remains soothing and meandering, filled with tangents, tech frustration, light humor, and gentle interactions with Vinny.

There are long stretches where he quietly narrates what he's doing on the computer, adding to the hypnotic tone.

He also touches on his YouTube channel growth, nostalgic memories of earlier podcasting days, and quirky listener messages.

🤓 Funny or Quirky Moments

“He likes apples with maggots in them, but won’t touch the ones I buy for him.”

“Maybe my desk needs a good screw… I mean, tightened screw!”

Reflects on the "emotional bond" with a coat rack knob that recently fell off: “We didn’t know each other that well anyway…”

💤 Overall Vibe This episode is classic Jason Newland: part technical log, part sleepy ramble, part podcast therapy. While he dives into the nitty-gritty of fixing his podcast distribution, the soft tone, mundane details, and gentle humor make it perfect bedtime listening.
