Culm

We’re always on the hunt for the perfect nightcap. Enter the new podcast by comedians Noah Weiner and Landon Lichtenstein—two self-described “neurotic gay Jews” who struggle with sleep-time anxiety—which is better than a warm cup of Irish cream. Like a wacky lullaby from your drunk aunt, their podcast features young comedians telling real-life bedtime stories in soothing voices meant to gently lull you to sleep. With guests such as the writer and actor Catherine Cohen and The Good Place’s Brandon Scott Jones, Culm is the podcast equivalent of going to a stand-up set after popping one too many melatonin gummies. At once relaxing and entertaining, it’s for insomniacs and easy sleepers alike. After all, counting sheep is so passé. —Sarah Nechamkin
