New episode released! “How We Say Goodnight”
Lullabies and goodnight wishes are thought to soothe both the giver and the receiver. They're an anchor in time, as we send each other off into the dark unknown, hoping that the world will reassemble recognizable, and that we might have more moments together.

Sean Malin's new book, "The Podcast Pantheon, 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen", is solidly making its way into the world. It's a really fun book, and Nocturne is in amazing company!

As part of the book release tour, I will be part of a panel this coming Saturday, October 4th at 3pm at Book Passage in San Francisco. I'll be in conversation with Sean Malin, Glynn Washington, from Snap Judgment and the folks from Ear Hustle, (which is crazy)! It sounds like it will be a really fun time, and the event is free, so if you're in the SF Bay Area come on by! We'll all be signing the books and chatting with folks.

Hello!
Do you want to potentially have your voice in an episode?! I would be SO grateful if you could record yourself using your phone, and send me the answer to these two questions:

1) How do you say goodnight to the people in your life?

2) Why do you say goodnight?

I'd love to know what you say, how you say it, to whom you say goodnight. And I'd really love you to consider why you say goodnight? What is important about it? Maybe, what would it be like if you didn't/couldn't? And any other related answers!

Also, if you are willing, I would love recordings of you actually saying goodnight in real time (however you do it).

You can send them to me at at [email protected] , or if the recording is large you could upload it and send me a link.

Thank you in advance!

Wishing you all the best,

Vanessa

New episode of Nocturne out now - “Henry 1”. Henry 1 is the Sonoma Country Sheriff's Office helicopter rescue unit. They're available 24/7, and are one of the busiest programs of their kind in the country. They're the only one in the country that does long line rescues at night. They're super badass.
