This podcast is a family favorite. My sons, ages 7 and 9, request it by name. What a wonderful opportunity to expand our world view and hearts, and what a jumping point for insightful conversation at home. Thank you so much.

His end of career insights and hopes for his “new life” to come and brief talk about his background and era of Post WW2 childhood gives these Sleep Over youth a good perspective to take into their dreams!

Inspiring, affirming, fun. Just beautiful. Everyone should totally listen to this podcast.

This show is so compelling. I LOVE Sook-Yin. She is such a compassionate and warm host. They do a great job of making you care about each of the sleepover guests. This show is really, really special.

I love being able to get insight into the lives of all kinds of people. As a pastor (woman) I meet many interesting people and also try to help them consider a range of solutions to problems. This pod cast is very helpful.

The premise is so different than any other podcast that I was skeptical that it could work. But Sleepover is changing lives and I love being inspired by the guest on the show. My daily problems seem more manageable after hearing the guests bravely confront their own struggles.

Love this show! So fascinating and human. I totally want to do this with strangers; people are so good.

If you're into the whole "warm and fuzzy" feeling thing then this podcast is for you. Real people being vulnerable and honest about themselves. It makes you realize that we are much more alike than different. If the first episode doesn't hook you, see a doctor asap. LOL! Such a great find.

When I find out the focus of each episode, I think, "Interesting, but it's not going to apply to me." I've listened to several episodes, and each one has hit home.

What a crazy premise, but it works, and people agree to do it! Fantastic stories, real stories, real people.

Such a feel-good show!

I think it should be longer. People get there in morning say by ten then leave after dinner. I have to say I was taken in by the stories. Also maybe have everyone do something together at the end. Say ask the magic 8 ball a question. Good job Suk yin Lee Keep them coming

Suggested by NPR's The Big Listen, I rapidly devoured the first season of this CBC series and cannot wait for series two in the new year. Sook-Yin's balanced hosting brushes away biases and winners and allows pure, problem-solving conversation to flow in a way we can all learn from. I head back into my busy life with my heart a little more open thanks to these stories. Stunning.

The premise alone is so hopeful: three strangers (plus the host) get into a hotel room and try to understand each other. This is the kind of sweetly contrived thing that should be happening everywhere, all the time, until we all see each other clearly. It gets goofy, it gets real, it gets deep. (I even wish it would go a little longer and get a little deeper—so many great stories!) You’ll feel better about humanity, you’ll want to live in Canada (if you don’t already), and you’ll do a little dance in honor of Sook-Yin Lee.
