    Read excerpt

    Hi Sleepy! I'm getting older. My body knows it. My thoughts move slower than they used to. Inside I still feel like I did at twenty. For many years I tried to be the kind of man I thought I was supposed to be. I drank too much. The shame from those years is still with me. Now I make the things I want to make. It took a long time to get here. I also think about consciousness. About what a self is. The cells in my body. The universe. And me somewhere in between, one single person who can never be

    Read excerpt

    Hi sweet Sleepy! A rerun from the archive, first heard in May 2024. In this one I drift between my teenage years with my best friend Marcus — our ambitious attempt at a homemade fantasy film, and a little improvisation game we invented called "Book of the Day" — and bigger things: the Voyager probes, the Golden Record, and our strange urge to send a piece of ourselves into the void.

    Read excerpt

    Hi dearest Sleepy! A rerun from the archive — this was the very first English episode I ever made, back in May 2024. No music, no guided meditation, none of the usual sleep podcast stuff. Just me, letting my mind wander in my imperfect English: furry conventions, untranslatable Swedish phrases, and why we're so hard on ourselves. Don't listen too closely. Let my voice wash over you, and drift off. Sleep tight! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Tranquil Tête-à-Tête (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Hi Sleepy. This time I wander through childhood memories, my old teenage barbershop quartet, an old friend, and some thoughts about how strange it is to simply be alive. My English stumbles here and there, my thoughts wander off, and I occasionally forget what I was talking about. As usual. You don’t have to follow any of it. Just let me talk somewhere in the background and see where we end up. Sleep tight. From the archive, first heard in May 2024. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mor

    My Summer (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    First day back after the summer. I sit down and I start with gravel. Not the interesting kind. There isn't an interesting kind. But where I grew up almost nothing was paved, and when you came off a bike on that surface it took a wide decorative area out of you and filled it with small stones. And those stones lived in your knee until September. So this one is mostly that. Two memories from a very small village in the middle of Sweden. My little brother and a friend stuck in a ditch full of clay,
