Sleep Without Dreams

Narrated noir fantasy

Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.

Here's the last note we made on Oct 20, 2025, which may nor may not be helpful: Binge-ready limited series (additional seasons are not planned, but are possible) •

Show synopsis

This show uses machine-generated voices

Half-trolls were never meant to become homicide detectives, and in Jade’s defense, she had always tried to stay away from murder. But when the Bureau gives you a case full of corrupt elves, rival trolls and weird rituals, you either do your best detective work or hand in your resignation.

A fantasy-noir podcast following the eldritch adventures of Detective Jade Hawkins.

Creator comments

Submitter notes

This is a one-woman show! I wrote, recorded and produced each episode myself because I feel like there just aren't enough jaded, half-troll detectives in fiction and because I wanted more cosmic urban fantasy to exist.

This show was at one time binge-ready, but now it's... not?

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-perfect listener experience. And, if we're honest. It could be us. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes of the first season are still releasing.

Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

You may find more information and listening links at the show's official website.
