Drifting Off with Joe Pera: A Sleep Podcast

Talking about wind - wind through wheatfields, wind in hair, wind blowing you around in a hot air balloon...the list goes on. It's a good episode.

Hello Drifters,

It’s Joe, with a note for the Spring.

I hope your April has been good and that you’ve got your garden plotted out. If not, there’s still time and I am glad for that because personally, I’m not sure what to do with the special bean seeds I received from some nice people at my show in Kalamazoo.

For a stretch in Spring ’22, I was ending tour shows by tossing out seed packets while Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ pl...

I am excited to share with you this new episode, a trip to a place where it is currently summer, Australia. 

Not that you and I are afraid of the cold but a number of coincidences have been pointing me towards that weird southern continent lately so I figured we’d see what it’s about. I called some comedians I know from the region and asked them to share what’s going on...

A return to favorite subject matter, here's an episode to ring in the Holidays. Joe shares a poem he wrote about trees and reads 'The Fir Tree' by Hans Christian Andersen. Plenty more as well.

I've been collecting footage on tour and with the help of Marty Schousboe and an incredible score by Michael Nau, we've finally pieced it together. Ryan Dann did sound and Grant Farsi produced of course, in addition to making segments.

Tom Delgado (NYC Tour Guide & Joe's old roommate) shares some spooky stories from New York City's history. Plus Ana Fabrega (Los Espookys) talks about home invasion.

Tonight's episode comes from some of the books and articles sitting around my desk. It's simple but I hope in a good way, like cheese and crackers.

Me and my slow reflexes got back into video games after a decade-long break. Figured I would share some thoughts as well as my appreciation for Red Dead Redemption 2. I know I barely scratched the surface but talking with actor Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) was incredible and the original music by Dan Deacon is too.
