About this episode

Matt Bragg talks with Caller Anita about her love of ASMR role-play videos, ten-hour boxed fan loops, and rewatching Frasier in Spanish to drift off. What You'll Hear: A Case of Mistaken Fame: Matt kicks things off with a tour support story that ends in the most polite kind of being ignored, and what it teaches him about staying in unfamiliar hotel rooms. The ASMR Confession: Anita calls in wondering if she's alone in loving oddly specific sounds to fall asleep to, from flight attendant role-play to the gentle chaos of Frasier reruns. Gunfire, Furniture Bob, and Good Old Tom: The conversation wanders through weird white noise, beloved local commercials, and the lost art of minor celebrity, before ending in some very sincere goodnights.
