On Location in a Kayak | SWM+ Sneak Peek

STEREO EXPORTS

A real ride in a Kayak, it has been edited but it is a on location show so if you need it super even and sleepy, you might save this for the day time.

This episode was recorded on location and contains some ambient nature sounds. It’s an older bonus episode, so it’s a little looser. There’s some gentle singing and discussion of small insect friends. It might not be sleepy for all listeners.

Happy Subscriber Summer! All summer long, we’re giving you a sneak peek of bonus episodes exclusively available on Sleep With Me Plus. Learn more at sleepwithmepodcast.com/plus

    STORY

    I’m about to get into a kayak

    We’ve got a lot of turquoise dragonfly action right now

    Okay, we’re launched!

    The water is almost mirrorlike

    This could be the official dragonfly episode

    Surrounded by big, broad lily pads

    Was that my nose or a bird?

    A lot of birds and hummingbirds singing

    Gather round, ye dragonflies

    You really are beautiful, dragonflies

    These are a few of my favorite wings

     

    I think I’m in the Dreamboat, my mom’s kayak

    I don’t know if this is a paddle or an oar

    I’m in an estuary right now

    Soothing paddle sounds

    A bounty of views

    I’m seeing a couple different types of river plants under the water

    Holy cow, a morning dive!

    A water B-U-G

    I’m sure we’ll some water striders before the end of the day

    A grassy algae cloud

    I wouldn’t call this M-U-C-K

    This might be how I picture my story swamp

    Heading towards a downed tree

    A little baby fish just went by

    We’re so lucky to be out here recording right now

    Why is everything that looks like a pad a lily pad?

    A leaf-like pad

    Extensive Swamp Clouds

    Those are new

    If you’re a sci-fi artist, you gotta get down here

    I just caught my first heady scent

    Sunscreen mixed with skunk musk

    I’m wearing 2 types of sunscreen right now

    A dank, dank smell 

    Shoutout to my 420 friends

    Holy cow, an otter or a muskrat! Maybe a beaver!

    Musk Buddies

    I’ll head where the musk buddy went

    We’ve got some lavenders

    Water-Based Flowers (WBF)

    Okay, I’m following this turtle now

    Pretty sure it’s a mammal

    Following a musk buddy through the wardrobe

    A beautiful slate gray dragonfly

    Most underrated flying thing? Dragonfly for sure

    Perched on a lily pad

    Do lilies grow on lily pads?

    Lady Slate, the dragonfly

    I’ve heard that mammals do love my voice

    Don’t get me wrong, I love a beaver

    But we should give musk buddies their due, too

    A lot of water B-U-G-S

    Going into a swampy area for the floral action

    I think I’ve recorded here before

    That’s the rowboat I was sitting on when I recorded

    Oh, there’s our first water strider!

    I do have on a vest of L-I-F-E

    I was in this swamp as a child

    Wow, a darker, bigger dragonfly just flew in front of me

    Whoa, you hear that frog?

    Here’s a movie pitch

    The Teensy, Tiny Dragonfly

    Holy moly, a great blue heron just flew by!

    Do herons and frogs sound the same?

    Some beautiful white flowers here

    Flowers, I won’t tell you how or when to pollinate

    The dragonflies like me talking about plant love

    Talking about nectar just make me sweat

    A lot of kayaks and canoes parked near here

    I’m drinking a [brand name] wild cherry cola

    Church bells would really punctuate this setting right now

    An unopened bulb awaits to bloom

    It might be mucky, but I don’t think it’s yucky

    Singing “Blackbird” to black birds

    The Stoned Skunk, a children’s book

    I wonder where our mammalian friend went

    Did the Swamp Person have friends?

    How come there’s no swamp friends?

    How come the dragonflies don’t land on my boat?

    Birds poop on lily pads!

    I’m glad to be here, recharging with my swamp friends

    I’m very thankful for my patrons

    Thank you for being in value for value

    The Heart-Shaped Lilypad

    Dime-Sized Flowers (DSF)

    They’re almost parchment like

    You’re more beautiful than parchment, even though it’s my favorite parchment

    I’m gonna try to stay in the shade a little while longer

    Doing a 3 point turn in a kayak

    I’ve got my favorite swim trunk on

    They were here, waiting for me

    Hello to the Cutest Dragonfly

    Some glassy action on this surface right now

    Is there impressionist VR?

    IMO Lake Teri is the Greatest of the Great Lakes

    Oh boy, crane city comin’ in!

    Or maybe an Osprey

    Selkirk Lighthouse – that’s an actual house

    Surrounded by herons

    No doubt these blue herons are Great

    Whoa, it’s ruffling its feathers!

    Its wings are a great blue color

    Talk About Bird Luck!

    I’ve got to keep an eye on my stuff

    Back to Musk City

    I know there’s a water chestnut issue here, but I don’t know what that looks like

    A beautiful, delicate dragonfly

    I’ll call you a bridefly

    Holy Moly, another dragonfly!

    I’m keeping an eye out for my parents

    Time for some gentle paddling

    I’m not sure if we saw aerobic or anaerobic activity

    Time to explore one more swamp area

    Really in the muck now

    A whole lotta swamp gas

    There’s just so many dragonflies

    Counting dragonflies off to sleep

    All these fishies wish you goodnight

    Another Tar-Like Smell

    Counting the sides

    Thanks for supporting the show
