Jonathan Ames Stays Cool Talking About Russian Bathhouses

Jonathan Ames is the author of numerous acclaimed and popular books, including the brand new detective novel Karma Doll. He’s also a television creator, having come up with the series Bored to Death, wherein Jason Schwarzman played a detective named Jonathan Ames. When he’s not writing, Jonathan, the real Jonathan, not the character, enjoys a comfortable soak in the Russian bathhouses of New York and Los Angeles and, using his smooth and sonorous voice, is here to tell you about all that as well as the heat, the cold, and the importance of the towel as you drift off to sleep.

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.
