I have been listening to this collection every night before sleep for what must be several years now. I can’t think of anything else comparable and am only worried that one day they will cease to be! There’s something both soothing and imaginative about them and it feels like you are accompanying...Read full review »

To all my fellow insomniacs, here lies solace. Welcome back to the air ways, Jarvis. Thank you for returning in these dark days.

I love how Jarvis talks to us as the listener while also mixing interesting night time related stories with eerie soundscapes. It is both atmospheric and comforting. I re-listen to the episodes when I can’t sleep. Please keep them coming. Best listened to at night.

Sublime listening.

I’ve been on a huge insomnia kick, and it was starting to wear me down physically and mentally. This is so good is because it just took me through two full sleep cycles. I feel like I’ve had two IV bags and a tranquilizer. My brain hasn’t felt this normal in a decade. I am not sure what kind...Read full review »

Love these little nocturnal adventures. Mr Cocker always pulls me in with his invitation to join him on his night rambles. Usually I’ll nod off before it’s over. Hope he makes some more!

I could listen to this voice carry me all the way through this apocalypse of 2020 and beyond. I only wish there was more...

This podcast is so different, so creative, so soothing that I became an instant addict. Definitely an excellent choice for those of us who inhabit the “wee hours” by necessity or choice.

Saw a recommendation and took a chance and enjoyed the episodes I’ve down loaded especially the radio waves and Berlin episodes. Once it’s safe to do so I hope there’s more produced.

Great to listen to at night. Soothing, interesting and companionable.

I listen to the episodes when I can’t sleep at night - always hear something I haven’t taken in before. But need a new series please Jarvis.
Maggie Thorse via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/01/20
Of this gem needs to be made..... Really is a clever fantastic piece of audio and at night in the dark just incredible....Jarvis is a natural broadcaster

Jarvis in a pod of his own, awesome!
Stod Rewart via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 03/20/19
Amazing, I really love how Jarvis interacts with the listener. I have trouble falling to sleep, but these podcasts are so good. Please make more!
Manx Yessir via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/22/19
It’s a pleasure, not knowing where it’s going, but it reverberates and provokes long after the half hour is done. Merci chef. 👨‍🍳 Keep doing them. 🤟🏼
Ernest de Paris via Apple Podcasts · France · 01/08/19
Charming, amusing, and witty indeed! Jarvis has the voice and the charm of a british hottie. I am so glad to be alive in this world with Jarivs Cocker!

I just love it. Go on, take a journey.
carryoncourts via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/05/17
Long-time listener and always pleased with a new bundle from JC. He accompanies the listener through confusing often frightening realism, quietly guiding . Poetic and precise descriptions. Gentle and tolerant view.
Seabroom via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/04/17
Oh, so Jarvis is our contemporary boddhisatva!!! Wonderful!
Jog1968 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/04/17
Jarvis Cocker narrates together a list of stories and experiences of people who work at night. The background sound will draw you in so it's best to get some good quality headphones and block out the world, lie down in a dark room and immerse yourself in this.Read full review »

A man was envited to join the BBC on an unusual trip. Good move for both.
Acoustic Maiden via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/20/16
Actually had a little spasm when I saw four new episodes. Best Podcast out there by a country mile.
Sam Riding via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/17/15
Simply one of the best podcasts out there. Utterly original, completely engaging, dreamy wonderfulness. More please.
Irish_man1985 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/23/15
Best podcast there is, I have not wanted to search for something similar because I know there is’t any thing similar. Please make more of these Jarvis! Its a storytelling approach that many journalists should try! Just love it!
Patrullen via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 07/12/15
Highly recommended to listen to before sleep. You’re taken on a journey by Jarvis Cocker to unusual places at night whilst safely tucked in your bed. Very original program, thank you Jarvis Cocker.
Night elf via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 12/06/14
As much as I could just listen to Jarvis say anything at all for hours on end, this series is well supported by little nuggets of story and gems of audio that make it shine all the more. It’s intimate and special and I recommend these to anyone with both hears and a heart.
eamon! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/14
Jarvis Cocker goes on these wonderfully peaceful adventures finding ordinary people with extraordinary stories, so you don't have to. He takes you to another world all from the comfort of your bed. My dad and I found these to be perfect pre-sleep remedies.Read full review »

Love these podcasts so much, there the best thing since sliced bread. Please keep them coming. X
whomonster via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/12/13
Utterly loved these, but I consumed all of them at once like a box toffees on Christmas Day. If I had know there would be 4 in a season, I would have rationed them out...
abicon via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/11/13
This is my favorite podcast ever. It's hard to describe just how wonderful it is. Jarvis Cocker's voice is so soothing. I love listening to it at night when I'm in bed. It helps me sleep & I mean that in a good way. I'm a night person, so I find these stories very interesting....Read full review »

Jarvis perfectly captures the feeling 'between the click of the light and the start of the dream'. Perfectly stitched together narratives of a different side of life, miss them at your peril.Read full review »

Roll on some more of these ASAP!
Mice! via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/09/12
I'm a biased fan of Jarvis but he has the voice and vocabulary for radio. He makes you feel as though you're strolling around the night streets with him. Please make more!Read full review »

Jarvis is able to make you feel a part of all the differing angles and aspects of each journey. Superb and easy listening.

Jarvis Cocker's gentle voice takes you through the night, as we share others' experiences of life after dark.... the shepherd , the pilot , the poker player ...... I loved this. Good to relax to.Read full review »

Jarvis Cocker takes you out and about after dark. Feeling like a modern take on Charles Dickens Christmas Carol as Jarvis spirits you from one scene to another taking in the many different characters of the night. One minute your drinking beer on an allotement looking for badgers and the next...Read full review »

Jarvis has a mesmerising voice, but it is the way he has woven the voices of normal people doing normal things with sounds and a little music that gives this quartet such such an impact. Listen to them alone in a near-sleep state and allow his hypnotic tones to conjure up the most vivid visions...Read full review »
Bengla via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/20/12
I've enjoyed Jarvis's wit and his lovely tones on Radio 6 Music for some time and was drawn to these programmes purely based on the concept of Jarvis lurking in the shadows. Believe me when I say, quirky, observant, touching, funny all in the right measures. These four podcasts have...Read full review »

Radio 4 is like a drunk friend , there comes a point in the night when you realise that you love them , and that the world for all it's hate is a lovely place. And so to is this wonderful show, tucked away , after closing time , it's a cab ride past people lives , soothed and aided by...Read full review »
