The Holland Patent Postal Union
As you may have heard, Drifting Off is on a brief hiatus. But in the meantime, here's the first episode of Ryan's new project - the Holland Patent Postal Union. The 2nd episode is also live everywhere you get your podcasts. Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3EVtibpTN4cNun9t0Hn3vdApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/holland-patent-postal-union/id1730609828 Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/@HollandPatentPostalUnionHey Drifters,Ryan here. Drifting Off is on hiatus, but I want to keep making stuff. So I’m starting an audio project I’ve wanted to do for a while called the Holland Patent Postal Union in which I write audio letters to people. It might not put you to sleep, but if you’ve enjoyed the music and sound design aspect of Drifting Off, the Holland Patent Postal Union is going to dig a little deeper in that direction.Joe, Grant, and I appreciate all the support you’ve given us this past year, and personally it was some of my favorite work. If you like what you hear and want to hear more, consider signing up over at the Patreon (link below) for early access and exclusive stuff or keep an eye out for episodes at the usual podcast spots in a few weeks.

Ep. 12: Australia and its Greatest Horse ft. Cut Worms
Drifting Off Live in Brooklyn, February 24th: https://wl.seetickets.us/event/joe-pera/578625?afflky=MurmrrI am excited to share with you this new episode, a trip to a place where it is currently summer, Australia. Not that you and I are afraid of the cold but a number of coincidences have been pointing me towards that weird southern continent lately so I figured we’d see what it’s about. I called some comedians I know from the region and asked them to share what’s going on. They’re some of my favorites so I included some of their work as well as a link to the new album by Cut Worms who composed the score for us this month. I also wanted to let you know that after this episode, we’ll be taking a break for a bit. It’s just a lot to manage while touring and I want to make sure all of the episodes are special and high-quality. Thank you so much for your support this past year - we always wanted to continue our previous sleep work and you gave us the opportunity to create 12 new pieces (including WaterfallTV), not to mention the extended editions. It means a lot to us and all the musicians and comics you supported well. We hope you got some good laughs and good nights of sleep while listening. We’ll be back but in the meanwhile, follow Ryan on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollandpatentpubliclibrary/ Thanks again and we hope you’ll enjoy the episode, Joe and Ryan and Grant Guy Montgomery's special drops Feb 11th on his youtube here: https://youtube.com/@Guymontgomerycomedy?feature=shared Sam Campbell's special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaL_OAfpNzc Aaron Chen's special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJFTWX-Kv0 Yaraman Thorne: https://www.instagram.com/yazzy_boi?igsh=MWlnMmswcWN5ZjhncQ== Cut Worms: https://www.cut-worms.com/ New Cut Worms album: https://open.spotify.com/album/2RcDC3U0dfYCrniJkBbtE2?si=r1TU-CEDSXCT1XVOnZUR3g Cut Worms appears courtesy of Jagjaguwar.
