Episode notes
We wouldn’t advise you to have candy before bedtime. That’s certainly not going to be helpful for your sleep efforts. But having the hilarious and delightful Jo Firestone run down her ten favorite candies of all time? Why that’s just the thing to send you off to dreamland. You might know Jo from the Dr. Gameshow podcast or television programs like Joe Pera Talks With You, What We Do in the Shadows, and Shrill and if so, you probably like her already. So sit back and listen to some sweet candy selections. Did Snickers place? Or Kit Kat? How about Raisinets or something called Caramel Cream? Find out, Sleepyheads.
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.
