Let me know which type of episodes you prefer. I talk about a lot of random stuff this episode related to the future of the podcast (note: one episode to be released per week for the next two weeks. Please use this episode as a way to help fall asleep, or if you are looking to take control of your sleep then feel free to practice what I do in this episode. This episode goes in many directions, it might as well be me instead of you imo. Insomnia sucks but the way I talk tends to put people to sleep and induce yawns. I'm going old school with a stream-of-consciousness episode where I talk about the podcast and where it's headed, sleeping tips, removing distractions, and vocalizing the ridiculousness of how many damn apps I have on my (and likely our) phones. It's time we take step up, action up, and make our days chase up. This podcast is best suited for anyone that has insomnia, needs sleep, or just wants to get their mind off their day. About Droolish: Droolish is a sleep and relaxation podcast, focused on varied subjects with the goal to help remove insomnia, improve relaxation, and help you go to sleep. Note: I'm qualifying this as AMSR due to my goal of wanting to use sounds and my voice to help calm imsomnia and to help you relax and go to sleep.
