See You In Sleep County

We open up tonight's episode with talk of Blake's latest musical endeavour and the freedom of creating just for the joy of it. Then, in our story, we hark back to the autumn of 2005, back in Jazz's adolescence, for a trip to a medieval fair with her best friend.

In this very special birthday episode of Sleep County, we celebrate Blake's 34th birthday with the story Jazz promised him back in Episode 23. For something a little bit different than our usual fare, we offer you a view of the world through the eyes of a duck, as a reminder to simply be.

Tonight's episode opens with a chat about Blake's desire for a canine companion. Then we ease into a lovely story of a shared memory in which the two of us attended a ceramics workshop led by another dear friend in the winter of 2019.

This week in Sleep County, we chat about meaning and how sometimes it's best not to look for it. Then we transport our listeners to Faro, Portugal in the summer of 2020 for a tour through various artists' studios, culminating in an evening with new friends.

Tonight we muse upon what creative maturity looks like and why it's more important to create for expression than performance. Then we breathe in the fresh alpine air and bathe in the cool mountain streams of Drôme in the summer of 2019 for this bedtime story.

In this week's episode, we talk a little about how to choose what we spend time on, and the alignment of whims and commitments. Then, in our story, we visit Woodfordia, a very special place on Australia's Sunshine Coast, for The Dreaming Festival of winter 2010.

We open tonight's episode with a little chat about an exciting package that Jazz just received, and then transport our listeners to the snowy countryside of Poland, for this story set in January 2017.

Tonight's episode is an extra special one! To celebrate 2000 listens of the podcast, we held a competition for a personalised episode of Sleep County. This story is about our lucky listener, Nick, and chronicles the overwhelm of his first day as an English teacher in South Korea. Thanks to our newest Patron, the Hitchhiking Teacher for supporting us! Personalised podcasts are offered to all of our Resident Tier patrons.

This evening we delve a little into self-care, and the power of removing 'should' from one's vocabulary. Then we travel to Bangkok in the summer of 2014, exploring an abandoned shopping mall replete with a flooded basement full of Koi carp.

Tonight we hear of Blake's recent trip to France, and the therapeutic benefits of spending time in nature before we delve into our tale. This story is a recent one, occurring in the summer of 2020, and explores the simple pleasures of making silver jewellery with one's very own hands.
