Let Me Bore You To Sleep #1451 — Embarrassing Moments, Podbean & Podcast Stats (2nd October 2025)

Drift off with Jason Newland in this gently funny insomnia podcast. Tonight’s boring podcast wanders through Jason’s most awkward (and hilarious) moments—from being locked out of a Harrogate hotel room in just a vest and socks, to a café queue disaster, squeaky furniture, and childhood violin recital fails. Jason also talks about Podbean experiments, SoundCloud surges, Buzzsprout limits, podcast cover art, and why he sometimes listens to his own recordings to fall asleep. A perfect mix of absurd storytelling and sleep hypnosis-style rambling, ideal for anyone who wants to fall asleep fast. What you’ll hear
