🧠 Main Theme: Jason offers a slow-paced, stream-of-consciousness update on his week, focusing on technical struggles with podcast distribution, website updates, and reflections on his recording process — all delivered in his signature hypnotic, meandering tone to help listeners drift off to sleep.
📌 Key Points & Topics Covered: 🛠️ 1. Podcast Hosting Chaos
Jason spent the entire week resolving issues with Apple Podcasts, where his episodes were no longer updating.
He suspects the issue stemmed from too many duplicate podcast feeds, confusing Apple’s indexing system.
After a lot of trial-and-error and ChatGPT-assisted research, he narrowed it down to one active podcast per title (e.g. Let Me Bore You to Sleep, Hypnosis for Sleeping Deeply, etc.).
🌐 2. Website Overhaul
He made the decision to shut down letmeboreyoutosleep.com due to cost and revert back to his long-standing domain jasonnewland.com.
The new site includes:
Embedded players for streaming
Transcription links (like this one!)
Links to major podcast platforms: Apple, Spotify, etc.
Plans to add direct MP3 download buttons for each recording.
🐾 3. Vinny Updates (Dog Content!)
Vinny chased a fly unsuccessfully all day.
He prefers rotten apples off the ground to fresh ones bought from the store.
Jason talks gently to Vinny, offering affection and sharing food (but not salad).
📈 4. Listener Stats & Platforms
He checks podcast analytics and notes:
Historically, 84% of his listeners came from Apple Podcasts.
Recently, usage has shifted:
Podcast Addict: 37%
Apple Podcasts: 33%
Overcast: 20%
Other platforms include Spotify, Castbox, iVoox, Amazon, Deezer, etc.
📡 5. SEO & Search Visibility
Jason tests how well his podcasts show up on Google, Bing, and podcast directories.
Finds outdated listings and duplicate feeds that are no longer functional.
Starts adding clean, direct Apple Podcast links on his site for all 8 active shows.
🔧 6. Future Plans
Add a page to his site with clearly listed podcast links by platform.
Continue updating his podcast pages on Facebook and other socials.
Improve download functionality to make access easier for
