Now you can achieve that urgently needed rest by taking advantage of our most precious natural resource: celebrities. Each week on the slyly humorous and reassuring Sleeping with Celebrities, host John Moe talks with a different guest from the world of entertainment about something they know a lot about. The conversation is guaranteed to be just interesting enough to draw your attention away from your own swirling anxieties but never interesting enough to keep you awake. No startling revelations, no dramatic screaming confrontations, but plenty of low-key dialogue, intricately laced deadpan comedy, and a ticket to dreamland.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T16:18:55.267398+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543"},"episode":{"title":"Jesse Thorn Has More Thoughts On Menswear Formality Levels Than You Do, Probably","slug":"jesse-thorn-has-more-thoughts-on-menswear-formality-levels-than-you-do-probably","published_at":"2026-07-22T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543/jesse-thorn-has-more-thoughts-on-menswear-formality-levels-than-you-do-probably","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543","url":"https://www.maximumfun.org/podcasts/sleeping-with-celebrities","audio_url":"https://afp-9384.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/f0e4476d-3ac9-477a-9c63-2fcc05183b2b/episodes/60270aa7-c10d-488c-b1b3-27a365f0b433/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=f0e4476d-3ac9-477a-9c63-2fcc05183b2b&awEpisodeId=60270aa7-c10d-488c-b1b3-27a365f0b433&feed=ebjiDp6h","summary":"Maximum Fun, the network upon which you hear our program, was founded by one Jesse Thorn, who continues to host an improbable number of podcasts on the network. Three, in fact: Bullseye (an interview program with cultural figures, also on NPR), Jordan, Jesse, Go! (where he horses around with Jordan Morris), and Judge John Hodgman (where he is the bailiff to the titular judge. But Jesse’s interests expand yet further, all the way to men’s apparel, how it has evolved, and what you should, in fact, wear. Maybe a grey or blue suit is a better all-purpose option than black. Maybe a vintage t-shirt is okay once in a while. We even examine and judge by-gone fashions, including the dog-eared collar, which you can see in this episode’s tile and which will haunt our collective dreams forever. Maybe you’ll be asleep before you hear about that collar. We hope so.","meta_description":"Maximum Fun, the network upon which you hear our program, was founded by one Jesse Thorn, who continues to host an improbable number of podcasts on the ne…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3385,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543/episodes/jesse-thorn-has-more-thoughts-on-menswear-formality-levels-than-you-do-probably/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543/jesse-thorn-has-more-thoughts-on-menswear-formality-levels-than-you-do-probably.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
