Episode notes
Comedian, podcaster, author, and all-around delightful celebrity Jamie Loftus is in the process of rediscovering her love of NeoPets. She values the lessons they taught her about the stock market, war preparation, and the complexities of a capital-driven economy. She also likes that the electronic pets are impossible to kill. It’s true, all you can do is completely, devastatingly bum them out. Listen to Jamie as she grapples with the liminal zones between pets, NeoPets, wake, and sleep. Then sleep.
Listen to Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) and The Bechdel Cast, as well as Jamie Loftus’s various podcast miniseries, wherever fine pods are cast. Learn more about Jamie and her book Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs at her website, www.JamieLoftus.xyz.

About the show
Getting to sleep can be difficult sometimes. Now you can achieve that urgently needed rest by taking advantage of our most precious natural resource: celebrities. Each week on the slyly humorous and reassuring Sleeping With Celebrities, host John Moe talks with a different guest from the world of entertainment about something they know a lot about. The conversation is guaranteed to be just interesting enough to draw your attention away from your own swirling anxieties but never interesting enough to keep you awake. No startling revelations, no dramatic screaming confrontations, but plenty of low-key dialogue, intricately laced deadpan comedy, and a ticket to dreamland.
