Apple Podcasts5turdboi42.0United Kingdom4 years ago - Platinum, was not so shiny…
I listened to several episodes, and they were entertaining and distracted my mind as I was drifting off to sleep. I came across the episode,
“PLATINUM”, (which I chose for its length), and it was completely disturbing!! Not the kind of story you want to hear when you’re trying to drift off, etc. It’s about somebody else’s disturbing problems that keep compounding. Not sure if the creator was just having an odd day, but this episode did the opposite of helping me drift off to sleep. I ended up ... more

Canada4 years ago - Perfect weave
When I turned on a few friends to this amazing bedtime story concept by Adam and company via text, the question came back, is it creepy? or is it funny/ mellow? My answer, a little bit of both and then some, but not really creepy. Adams voice is soothing, but keeps you engaged just enough. The stories are light, fun and perfect improv for weaving into your subconscious.
Apple Podcasts5BlackwatersurfrrUnited States4 years ago - Bedtime stories to keep you half awake
I’m not too sure if one can market this as a podcast to put someone to sleep. There are points where I’m completely in stitches, laughing at Adam Mckay’s very random improvisations. Granted, I do drift off into a micro-doze but the ramblings feed into my dream and then I laugh myself awake. So I’m not too sure this is bedtime stories to send you to REM but it is a feel good and entertaining collection of bedtime story waffle. Sort of a humble Ron burgundy when he’s preparing to go on air.

Australia4 years ago - Adam McKay is a goddamn genius
I love being able to hear Adam just improvise. Listened to his Improv4Humans episodes and Owen & TJ Read the News. These bedtime stories are better than a lot of television out there today. I’m afraid that once Adam has to direct/write another movie we won’t be able to hear his genius every week. If that is the case, you need to get other improvisers as guest storytellers like Jason Mantzoukas, Lauren Lapkus, and Carl Tart. Thanks for doing this podcast and please keep it going.
Apple Podcasts5TrevortevelUnited States4 years ago - Fantastic Storytelling!
I fell asleep to this last night and was so entertained as I dozed off. Adam is a fantastic storyteller and I highly recommend the show for anyone looking to diversify their podcast lineup!
