I’ve been a devoted MBMBaM fan for years and years, but eventually found myself searching for a podcast to accompany me to sleep. im also now a Dan fan hahha. i love the patreon episodes so much. so much fun to hear.
I’m am very particular about what I listen to when i try to sleep, and after exhausting my previous go-to, I’m thrilled to have discovered this one. As someone who considers cereal one of my favorite foods, finding a podcast dedicated to it feels like a blessing in its own right. more
Like a warm hug of a podcast to fall asleep too!
I’ve been listening to The Empty Bowl for 6+ years, so this review is long overdue. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve gone back-and-forth through the catalog, because I listen to it every night to fall asleep. Recently, I started listening to an episode while I get ready for bed, so that I can actually hear entire episodes 😆
Dan and Justin are an absolute delight! They bring laughter and relaxation to my life every evening. Thank you for such a wonderful podcast! ❤️🥣❤️
Wonderfully calming conversation with gentle background music and waves. It helps me get to sleep, and calm down when my anxiety really gets a grip on me. Highly recommend!
I use this to fall asleep almost every night. Thank you for this gift. would LOVE to have a cereal ranking supercut episode.
