    Demitasse Cups & Bond Villains | Sleep Podcast
    Oct 14 2026

    Welcome to The Insomnia Project, the sleep podcast where nothing happens… so you can listen and sleep. Join hosts Marco Timpano and Amanda Barker for a calm, meandering conversation about demitasse cups, Bond villains, and the surprisingly villainous task of buying wedding china. Settle in, relax, and let the conversation wander wherever it happens to go.

    This episode starts with two unlikely companions: tiny coffee cups and villains. Amanda reveals her ambition to be a Bond villain, while Marco sets the record straight on what exactly a demitasse is. From there, the conversation drifts into the world of wedding china, and why picking out plates and saucers might be the most villainous chore of all.

    “I know why you have a saucer under your demitasse.”


    What We Talk About

    • What a demitasse is, and why it comes with a saucer
    • Amanda’s dream of becoming a Bond villain
    • Villains, and what makes a good one
    • Buying wedding china, and how villainous the task can be
    • A cross-promotion swap with Arthur’s Sleepy History

  • Rivers, Blue Herons & Lou Diamond Phillips | Sleep Podcast

    Rivers, Blue Herons & Lou Diamond Phillips | Sleep Podcast
    Oct 7 2026
    Rivers, Blue Herons & Lou Diamond Phillips | Sleep PodcastIn this sleep podcast episode of The Insomnia Project, Amanda and Marco settle into a slow, meandering conversation designed to help you relax and fall asleep. If your thoughts tend to wander like a slow river at bedtime, you're in good company.In this episode: To kick off Season 12, Amanda and Marco talk about rivers around the world: the Saint John, the Thames, the Seine, the Po, the St. Lawrence and the mighty Murray. They also cover blue herons, the Merlin bird ID app, the Canada goose, the beaver as a symbol of Canada, and why Lou Diamond Phillips is such a great actor. It's a gentle, meandering conversation for anyone looking to relax, unwind, and fall asleep.How the conversation meanders Season 12 begins the way the best Insomnia Project episodes do: slowly, and slightly off course. After a long break, Amanda and Marco welcome you to… Season 13. (It's Season 12. The break may have been a little too long.)From there, the conversation follows the water. They wander from the Saint John River to the Thames, the Seine and the Po, then back to the St. Lawrence before heading all the way to the mighty Murray. From the water's edge it's a short hop to birds. Amanda shares the story of a blue heron she spotted and how she uses the Merlin app, and Marco turns to two Canadian icons, the Canada goose and the beaver, a symbol of the nation. And then, somehow, Lou Diamond Phillips. Amanda tells a story about him, and the two of them happily gush about what a great actor he is. Nothing urgent, nothing to keep track of.What we talk aboutA slow wander along famous rivers, from the Thames and the Seine to the PoCanada's Saint John and St. Lawrence riversThe mighty MurrayAmanda's blue heron sightingIdentifying birds with the Merlin appThe Canada goose, and the beaver as a symbol of CanadaAmanda's Lou Diamond Phillips storyWhy Lou Diamond Phillips is such a great actorMentioned in this episodeSaint John RiverRiver ThamesSeinePo RiverSt. Lawrence RiverMurray RiverBlue heronMerlin Bird ID appCanada gooseBeaverLou Diamond PhillipsKeep wanderingRainy Days, Lazy Rivers & Bird Talk [link]Sleep Podcast: Birdsong, Bird Photography & Buying a Tilley Hat with Nima Kharrazi [link]Drama School Confessions: Bunnies, Shepherds & Bad Memorization HabitsListen / Subscribe Enjoying The Insomnia Project?

  • Rainy Days, Lazy Rivers & Bird Talk | The Insomnia Project (Season 5 Repeat)

    Rainy Days, Lazy Rivers & Bird Talk | The Insomnia Project (Season 5 Repeat)
    Sep 9 2026

    🌧️ Rainy Days, Lazy Rivers & Bird Talk | The Insomnia Project (Season 5 Repeat)

    The Insomnia Project is a relaxing sleep podcast made for anyone who needs help drifting off — whether you're battling insomnia, winding down after a long day, or just looking for a calm, low-stakes conversation to relax to. This episode is a Season 5 repeat, pulled from the archive while we're on a short hiatus, and it feels like the perfect one to bring back: it's raining outside as we post this, and this episode was born from exactly that kind of gentle, pitter-patter afternoon.

    Marco and Amanda let the rain set the pace, easing into a meandering chat that starts with a lazy river trip — all slow floats and peaceful, unhurried water — before drifting somewhere neither of them expected: a friendly debate about birds. Blue herons, flamingos, and kingfishers all get their moment as Marco and Amanda swap opinions and observations, wandering further and further from where the conversation started, the way it always does on this show.

    Perfect for anyone who wants a soothing, mundane conversation podcast to fall asleep to, work quietly alongside, or just decompress with.

    What we talk about:


    • The calming sound of rain as the backdrop for the episode
    • A recent lazy river trip and the joy of slow, aimless floating
    • An unplanned deep dive into bird opinions
    • Blue herons, flamingos, and kingfishers
    • The natural, drifting way the conversation moves from water to wildlife
    • Why low-stakes chatter is the whole point of this show

    This episode is perfect for:


    • Falling asleep to a soft, rainy-day conversation
    • Listening while you work and need something gentle in the background
    • Relaxing during an actual rainy afternoon
    • Anyone who enjoys easygoing, tangent-friendly conversation
    • Bird lovers or casual wildlife appreciators who enjoy a lighthearted debate

    The Insomnia Project is built for mundane, meandering conversation that helps quiet a busy mind. Follow along loosely, or let the voices fade into the background — and if you fall asleep before the end, that's the highest compliment you can pay us. 🌙🌧️

    If you enjoyed this rainy-day repeat, we'd love it if you left a rating or review — it helps more people find their way to a good night's sleep.
