What listeners will find here

A sleepy stroll through France, ending at the Sainte-Geneviève Library

This episode imagines you walking down a street in France, with a nod to the Sainte-Geneviève Library. It looks like a calm, atmospheric installment shaped by Joe Pera’s writing and Ryan Dann’s music and sound design.

Joe Pera tests bedtime drinks on tour, with Carmen Christopher in the mix

Joe Pera continues his bedtime drinks experiment while touring in Canada, joined by Carmen Christopher. The episode mixes the sleep-themed premise with comedian energy and a running joke about Carmen as a back pain expert, with an explicit reminder to be skeptical of medical advice from comedians.

A live Drifting Off show with new material, guest sleep pieces, and a full band

Drifting Off heads to the Brooklyn Opera House for a full live performance recorded on February 24, 2024. The episode mixes new material, live versions of podcast sections, and sleep pieces from friends, all accompanied by Hour and Ryan Dann.

A gentle season opener that drifts through the many moods of wind

Wind is the focus here, from wheatfields to hair to the sway of a hot air balloon. With music contributions from Elori Saxl and sound design by Ryan Dann, the episode looks built for a calm, immersive listen.

Joe Pera and Ryan Dann bring Drifting Off back for Season 2

Drifting Off returns next Monday with a new season of Joe Pera and Ryan Dann’s sleep podcast. The episode also lays out Patreon perks, including ad-free listening, monthly 8-hour Max Drift episodes, and 30-minute readings like Joe’s take on My Antonia.
