Sleep Podcast: Manicures, Typing & The Tammys | The Insomnia Project

Manicures, Typing & The TammysThere's something quietly magical about the way a conversation about nail polish can end up somewhere completely unexpected — and that's exactly what happens in tonight's episode. Amanda kicks things off trying to navigate her manicure (the struggle is real and deeply relatable), and before long your hosts have somehow landed on the lost art of typing, keyboard virtuosos, and the creation of an entirely fictional — but honestly overdue — awards show for typists. They're calling it The Tammys. You're welcome.From there, Marco and Amanda drift into something a little warmer: a genuine love letter to morning television, specifically their favourite show on CHCH and the hosts who make waking up worth it. Annette Hamm gets a moment that's less "mention" and more tribute — the kind only people who've actually watched someone light up a screen for years can pull off.Whether you're here for the sleep or just need something warm and wandering to keep you company tonight, this one's got charm to spare.What we talk about:Amanda's manicure situation and the fine motor challenges of modern lifeHow that somehow becomes a full conversation about typingThe invention of The Tammys — an awards show typists deserveMorning television and why CHCH holds a special place in their heartsTheir favourite hosts and what makes a great on-screen presenceA heartfelt send-off to Annette Hamm and what she's meant to viewers like themThis episode is perfect for:Anyone who loves rambling, warm, going-nowhere-fast conversationMorning TV fans who grew up with local televisionInsomniacs who want something funny and low-stakes to drift off toPeople who've ever tried to do anything with wet nailsFans of made-up award shows with very specific categoriesThe Insomnia Project is a sleep podcast hosted by Amanda Barker and Marco Timpano.
