These extended versions pick up where each episode left off with additional soundscapes, music, and whatever else might help you drift off even further. It could be unused music, extended scenes from the show, completely unused sound ideas, maybe scraps of interview we couldn't figure out where to use. For now, we're keeping the parameters pretty wide open as we learn what works, what doesn't, and have a little fun with it.
-Ryan
Drifting Off With Joe Pera is a comedy sleep podcast from comedian Joe Pera and composer Ryan Dann. With low-key jokes, immersive soundscapes, and relaxing phone conversations, Joe’s narration and Ryan’s sound design will help you unwind and perhaps even fall asleep.

Not enough people giving the music/sound/video editor Ryan enough credit for how good these soundscapes are

[@bon.8819]

it's sooo amazing, with my ADHD I've been looking for that soundscape which is not too repetitive where I begin to notice how repetitive it is which starts to unsettle me from sleep, the way it sounds like movements to different places is so soothing to me, I hope they keep making it like that it's soo good

[@marianadamelio]

I do, I give him credit, to the point I wanna have his music for sleep but can't find it in spotify

[@RayRayIsCoolio]

Thanks, Joe. hope you're doing well

[@glitchycabbage]

I love you, Joe. I easily lose my temper and get very angry at times. In doing this, I hurt the ones I love, and feel like I'm not worth the dirt under my fingernails... but, if I listen to you talk about something people might find simple and mundane... with such passion and genuine interest, it gives me hope that I might be able to calm down someday. I'm unsure why the things are related in my mind, but I guess I'm trying to say that I appreciate you.

[@amogus_sus...]

I know right

[@magicolmos]

This episode should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize

[@Jonathanmccallum1]

Yes

[@CriticalofOnions]

That bus driver Joe originally talked to in the shuttle bus will probably live the rest of his life never knowing the impact and effect of him just existing on Joe, and by proxy, on all of us. Who knows? Maybe one day he'll play Sky Harbor Airport Driver, and be pleasantly surprised.

[@amber_long]

The statement on the meaning in loss in RDR2 really hit home for me. Makes me realize how valuable our time is and how there is nothing we can do in the end, except for appreciate what we have. Thank you, Joe Pera.

[@TheOldYoungOne]

Roger Clark! What a legend and a surprise to hear a conversation between you two!

[@aidanscorner847]

Red Dead Redemption 2 helped me through my first year of anxiety disorder. Listening to you speak so passionately about it’s philosophy and story really made me feel something I can’t describe other than happiness

[@woompwoomp9687]

Hey Joe, I wanted to thank you for this series as it is truly wonderful. I find myself coming back to this video night after night. I truly love this episode in particular as it helps to paint a scene in my mind of a beautiful Arizona land scape as I make my voyage to the air port. I would love similar story telling episodes!

[@Jabinho]

A dry basement, well organized, is a beautiful thing.

[@johnwerner69]

I just bought red dead redemption 2 a couple of days ago and Joe wasn’t kidding, that game is great

[@Jasroque]

"Open world video games raise questions about limitations. You know what doesn't have limitations? Your dreams." - Joe Pera Audio show ends, with that wonderful music. I cried like a bitch at that line. I rarely comment on anything, but I feel I have to at this, and thats fine. I am so glad I discovered this man this summer. I went through a lot (still am, but who isnt?), and his show/KZbin videos came at a time in my life where I really needed it, and I'll even go as far to say, it helped me out a bit. Still a lot going on in life, and at my age (38) I'm not expecting things to get much better at times, but things seem at least somewhat brighter with him in it. Cant wait to see him May 3rd (day after my birthday)!

[@carpeimodiem]

Maximum Insomnia calls for Maximum Driftomnia.

[@Umpherton]

Joe pera is the most important person in the sleep industry right now, my snoozes have never been better!

[@carlosong4232]

This series is the only thing left that gives me the comfort I need to fall asleep.

[@kkat42069]

These podcasts have really been helping me sleep. Thank you for making more. For some reason the adult swim version makes me cry lol. Any way thank you.

[@chasethecolors]

Me too. The music and his warmth just take me out

[@doublehornsben]

Listening to this a month after a trip to Phoenix is interesting. Having a very recent memory of Sky Harbor makes that opening bit hit harder.

[@pottedrodenttube]

Nothing short of a masterclass in game development, GG's Joe, GG's!

[@DBZWii09]

i love this, now i have excellent sleep aid material 😄

[@Jonathanmccallum1]

Hello friends! Nice to be here and great idea Joe. Thanks for creating such unique and calming videos.

[@HighTonnage]

Can’t drift off, laughing too hard. Oh wait, zzzzzzzzzzz. Thanks Joe Pera.

[@betodaval]

I hope all of you that are seeking peaceful relaxation find the peace of mind needed to live in this crazy stressful world.

[@judithbreastsler]

ahh, the world. that place where you are bad for existing.

[@JohnFortniteKennedy_]

Oh man that water in the background. Very pure. Reminds me the time i just stood still in old Elder Scrolls games and enjoying the scenery.

[@TLOEric]

Joe, you're allllllright boah

[@salemfire]

Thanks Joe, Really love this new series. Has really helped while going through a lot lately.

[@bigman5403]

Thank you Joe

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

I hope that someday I can forgive myself, pick up the pieces of my shattered heart, glue them back together as well as I can and allow myself to experience joy and happiness without the heavy weight of guilt constantly pulling me back down beneath the water. I hope that someday I am able to enjoy this, and other works by the great Joe Pera, as it is meant to be enjoyed. Unfortunately, at this time I cannot allow myself to feel anything other than guilt, shame, self-loathing, failure - dragging them behind me like a coffin wherever I go, not dissimilar from the 1966 Spaghetti Western, DJango, except he carried a high-powered machine gun in his coffin, whereas I keep all my raw emotional baggage in mine. No matter what, Mr. Pera, your efforts are greatly appreciated by many.

[@rakhmanoshakbayev2419]

Sorry to hear all that gang hang in there brighter days will come trust❤

[@Abcd-dz2bn]

I’m so happy this is an 8 hour video😭😭😭❤️THANK YOUUU!!!!

[@rickstarz]

Wow, hearing someone famous acknowledge Wales is always a surprise, which is weird because we're not that small. Roger's take on the accent reminds me slightly of Tom Jones, so I'm guessing when he was here he lived down South.

[@astrossarave]

Would love to get a Christmas podcast episode

[@Casca1997Berserk]

Hey, Joe's. Thanks again 👋👍 .

[@hamimisnotcool8040]

Finally got my hands on Red Dead 2, Joe. Since I'm currently off uni, I have had so much free time. It truly is a great game.

[@4AMFiction]

[@joeratejoe1555]

The west not being won by guys with big juicy asses is one of the most unexpected, funniest lines ever written and delivered.

[@joshgoodman9882]

You have no idea what the max drift editions mean to me

[@rothberg4334]

I got RDR2 at the onset of the pandemic. Good talk.

[@gamecopshow]

Sometimes it makes me sad that people in my family won’t ever experience the magical moments of gaming that Joe is describing . One reason being selfish , I can’t talk about these moments with anyone I love and that feels lonely . Especially right after I experience one of those moments . And the other reason , it’s sad to think about some people will expire never understanding the true experience a game can give someone

[@jane_slayzz]

Joe pera videos always put me to sleep

[@rich1034]

Awsome sleep aid need this always

[@sppspharmdude]
