I Can’t Sleep

In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about Dungeons and Dragons, the king of role-playing games that began in the 1970s. I almost played a campaign once. I made it as far as creating a character and rolling the dice a few times before realizing how long it would take—and deciding I needed sleep more than an epic quest. But after diving into all that Wikipedia has to offer about this legendary game, I’m intrigued about giving it another shot. What do you think? Do you play? Am I missing out? Happy sleeping!

In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about the Naultinus, a fascinating gecko native to New Zealand. Thanks to our sponsor Guy Pryor, I discovered more about this unique lizard than I ever imagined. These green geckos might be the ones you’re picturing in your mind—unlike most geckos, which are typically brown. But don’t worry, you might not make it through the words Naultinus gemmeus before sleep takes over. Happy sleeping! Got a topic you’re dying to hear?

In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about LLMs—large language models. Step into the thrilling (read: not thrilling) world of artificial intelligence and discover everything you never wanted to know about how they work. Fun fact: since machine learning algorithms only understand numbers, text has to be converted into numbers first. Riveting, right? Get ready for that kind of excitement. Happy sleeping!

In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about axolotls, Lake Xochimilco, and Lake Texcoco. Why three topics this time? Well, the first two weren’t quite long enough, so here we are. Thankfully, they’re all connected—axolotls and their habitats. These fascinating creatures are even more incredible than I expected—they can regrow limbs and parts of their brain! Amazing, right? Anyway, I know I just hyped this one up, so send me a message if you made it all the way through without falling asleep. Happy sleeping! Got a topic you’re dying to hear?
