Steve Almond: The Dad Compactor

If you happen to be one of Steve Almond’s children, you already know about the Dad Compactor. Because Steve isn’t just a best-selling author (Candyfreak, All the Secrets in the World) and beloved podcast host, he’s a household appliance. Steve won’t stand for wasted food, you see, and so the Dad Compactor reuses and reinvents foodstuffs in ways you never thought possible or even wise. Doze off while he tells you all about it. You might become a Compactor too.

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.
