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":"Sondre Lerche Takes On A-ha and Soothingly Reads Fjord Names","slug":"sondre-lerche-takes-on-a-ha-and-soothingly-reads-fjord-names","published_at":"2026-06-24T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543/sondre-lerche-takes-on-a-ha-and-soothingly-reads-fjord-names","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/5d34e4e7-07f7-45d9-b250-01b154754bf1/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=f0e4476d-3ac9-477a-9c63-2fcc05183b2b&awEpisodeId=5d34e4e7-07f7-45d9-b250-01b154754bf1&feed=ebjiDp6h","summary":"When you’re a Norwegian musician, you get used to hearing a lot of the band A-ha, the biggest ever to come out of the Nordic country shaped like an arm from the elbow down. And that’s fine with Sondre Lerche, the most popular Norwegian solo musicians of all time. Sondre adored A-ha by rarely gets to share all his knowledge. Until this bedtime, that is. Sondre also reads the names of 15 fjords in their authentic pronunciations and also teaches our Norwegian-American host how to accurately pronounce his own middle name and the names of his parents, in both Bergen and Oslo dialects.","meta_description":"When you’re a Norwegian musician, you get used to hearing a lot of the band A-ha, the biggest ever to come out of the Nordic country shaped like an arm fr…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3057,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/sleeping-with-celebrities-6040543/episodes/sondre-lerche-takes-on-a-ha-and-soothingly-reads-fjord-names/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/sondre-lerche-takes-on-a-ha-and-soothingly-reads-fjord-names.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
