Episode notes
Jason Pargin has taken care of writing seven novels, including John Dies at the End and the new Zoey Is Too Drunk For This Apocalypse. But he’s only taken care of one pet bunny rabbit and his name was Rico. Rico the rabbit. Jason explains to us, at sleep-inducing length and snoozable levels of detail, some of the myths and facts about bunny husbandry, including that you shouldn’t feed them carrots but you should expect them to be surprisingly furious if you put a paper plate in their cage. Bunny rabbits are good pets, don’t get me wrong, but you just have to know about them and what better time to learn than right now at bedtime?
Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

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.
