    <description>Droolish is a podcast for people who can sleep better and relax background noise (normally some lofi &amp; rain sounds) while my voice and topics of discussion will help you rest. Hit play, sit back, close your eyes and listen to a soothing voice that talks about anything and everything. With a blend of pleasant background noises and Joey's yawn-inducing voice, Droolish helps relieve pre-sleep stress to get you relaxed and hopefully get over insomnia and get sleeping.

  <itunes:subtitle>The most advantageous way (in my experience) to make your insomnia go away is to put your mind to work in the form of (not so sexy) analysis &amp; study. This episode goes over my current podcast insights, analytics, graphs, all the FUN data metrics. The icing on the cake is me analyzing my learnings in a whirlwind of thoughts infused into a sleep-inducing-stream-of-consciousness podcast. Rain sounds and crackling fire sounds are used on top of my voice to help you relax, relieve stress, and to help sleep. If rain AMSR is your jam, give us a listen :)</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Ever wonder how much a small podcast makes? Or how many downloads a new podcast has? Should a small podcast like Droolish consider getting a sponsor? On episode 13 of Droolish, I review my podcast analytics and review insights on the data. From sponsorships to discussing co-hosts, I break down my thought process on how I adjust my podcast and tentatively plan around change.  Don't get too excited, take some melatonin and relax.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are new to Droolish, this is a podcast dedicated to discussing 'not-too-interesting' topics with the goal to get listeners focused on the background sounds. My calming voice tends to create yawns and my speaking style naturally makes you want to close your eyes and focus on other things. In this case, I place a variety of rain sounds, nature sounds, and other relaxing ambiance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So sit back, close your eyes, and dream easy when listening to Droolish. If you have stress, this podcast is good to prevent your mind from wandering, let me do the mind-wandering for you :). But seriously, everyone has their own preference and I hope that my twist on the podcast can help you sleep. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bonus: Midway I discuss some personal tips that help me sleep. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note: I'm considering qualifying this as AMSR due to my goal of using sounds and my voice to help calm insomnia, relieve stress, and to help sleep with ease.&lt;/p&gt;
