ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to The Insomnia Project, the sleep podcast where nothing happens… so you can listen and sleep. Join hosts Marco Timpano and Amanda Barker for a calm, meandering conversation about home intercoms, dumbwaiters, and the things houses used to have that have quietly disappeared. Settle in, relax, and let the conversation wander wherever it happens to go.
Remember when some homes had intercoms on the wall, or a dumbwaiter tucked between floors? Marco and Amanda take a nostalgic stroll through the household features that were once part of everyday life and aren’t really around much anymore. Along the way, Marco remembers the time he was chosen to be “the messenger” for his teacher, and Amanda makes a confession: she once read her sister’s diary. That leads to the story of what happened at her sister’s school dance. It’s an episode that doesn’t go anywhere in particular, but it’s a lot of fun not getting there.
