🎙️ The Concept: Sleep via Bureaucracy

While the station itself operates on a 24/7 cycle, the effort required to keep the signal alive is immense. From the minutiae of compliance to the urgency of emergency responses, the "behind-the-scenes" is a whirlwind of activity.

"We may never be able to explain what it takes to operate the station, but we can put you to sleep trying to."

To celebrate this fall's membership drive, hosts Zoe Kurland and Christopher Dyer present Marfa Public Radio Puts You to Sleep. This unique sleep podcast features staff members reading the most tedious, dry, and essential professional documents they encounter.

🛌 Your Sleep Checklist

• Find a comfortable position.
• Start a "boring" episode.
• Fall fast asleep.
• Wake up and support the station at marfapublicradio.org/donate.
