Everyone knows a guy like Drew Ackerman: the guy at parties who keeps talking about pointless topics until you manage to escape to the bathroom. But unlike your local rambler, he’s been able to turn his knack for quirky into a career, by putting to people to sleep with an incredibly boring podcast called “Sleep With Me”. His voice isn’t particularly pleasant or soothing — he himself calls it “creaky”, but for his fans, there’s something comforting about hearing Drew drone on about such non-crucial topics as grammar, underwear styles, and Trader Joes’ ability to keep shelves stocked during the holidays. Sleep With Me is quickly approaching its 750th episode and racks up about 3 million downloads a month. And now, for the true Sleep With Me Fanatic, Drew offers live podcast experience sleep sessions. "I’m more like a buddy. Like, they call on the phone, you’re like, 'Hey, I cannot sleep.' Or I’m having the worst day. Just tell me some random stuff about your day, " Drew says. VICE News dropped in on one of these live podcast events to find out what it’s like to fall asleep, live, in a pool of fellow insomniacs.
