#1547 Let me bore you to sleep | Jason Newland | 28th January 2026
Welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep with Jason Newland.
In this episode, Jason continues working on the same 500-piece jigsaw puzzle, this time experimenting with a split-screen setup — one camera on the puzzle, one on his face — while gently talking, thinking out loud, losing pieces, finding pieces, and questioning whether jigsaw puzzles are really a good idea at this stage of life.
As the puzzle slowly takes shape (and sometimes falls apart), Jason drifts into relaxed, honest reflections about: continuing a jigsaw puzzle across multiple days losing motivation and then rediscovering it the frustration and satisfaction of small progress content creation workflows, editing, and long upload times juggling video, audio, thumbnails, and podcast versions internet speed, overnight uploads, and technical limits Spartacus: House of Ashur and thoughts on storytelling and change admiration for paramedics, nurses, and people who save lives how love can change behaviour and direction focusing on what you want to feel, rather than what you don’t the psychology of attention, mindset, and the unconscious mind slowing down, patience, and not needing to be perfect
The jigsaw remains unfinished — and that’s intentional. This episode isn’t about completion. It’s about being with the process hooking pieces together, pulling them apart again, and letting time pass without pressure. You don’t need to follow the puzzle.
You don’t need to understand what’s happening. If you fall asleep while listening, it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do.
😴 Ideal for insomnia, anxiety, overthinking, or background comfort
🧩 Gentle, repetitive activity with calm narration
🎙️ Long, unscripted, free-form talking
🛏️ Best listened to when you’re safe to relax
