Cardigans, Quiet Streets and Poets | A Relaxing Stroll Through Simple Things

Cardigans, Quiet Streets and Poets
In this cozy episode of The Insomnia Project, hosts Marco Timpano and Amanda Barker settle into a gently meandering conversation about cardigans, quiet neighbourhood streets, and the poets they admire. The episode begins with a relaxed discussion about sweaters — including the different kinds of cardigans Amanda prefers, the classic sweater set, and Marco’s stories about seasonal accessories and what he calls his “Old Man Jones sweater.”
From wardrobe musings, the conversation drifts into memories of peaceful streets in cities they love, including Mexico City, New York City, Los Angeles, and Toronto. Marco reflects on visiting The Cloisters in New York, while Amanda recalls the charm of Degrassi Street. Along the way, they also mention Santa Clarita, California and the quiet character of its downtown.
As the conversation continues, music and poetry make their way into the episode, with shout-outs to Drake and Leonard Cohen. Amanda shares some of her favourite poets, bringing the discussion to a thoughtful and reflective close.
As always, The Insomnia Project offers calm, mundane conversation designed to help listeners relax, quiet racing thoughts, and drift gently toward sleep. If you fall asleep before the episode ends, we take that as the highest compliment.
