Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada - January 13, 2026 - In a time characterized by the "Attention Economy," where every piece of content is meticulously crafted to capture attention, a former national news anchor is embarking on a counter-movement focused on the opposite idea: sheer, structural monotony.
Dallas Kachan has officially unveiled Deeply Unimportant, a high-fidelity sleep podcast that leverages his professional broadcasting skills-often described by listeners as the "Voice of God"-to read through technical manuals, municipal regulations, and administrative records. The podcast is not intended for entertainment; its purpose is to serve as a "cognitive anchor" for the countless adults grappling with insomnia and racing thoughts.
"For years, my role was to engage viewers. Now, my mission is to help them drift off to sleep," Kachan states. "There exists a portion of the audience-particularly those with ADHD or high-stress jobs-who find conventional 'bedtime stories' or 'soothing rain sounds' either too childish or overly repetitive. They do not require a fairy tale; they require a structural metronome for their minds. They need assurance that someone else is in control so they can let go of their own worries."
Deeply Unimportant is launching with an initial collection of six "sedations," including 8-hour recordings of:
· ICAO Annex 5 Standard Atmosphere & Unit Conversion: The universal units of measurement utilized in international civil aviation.
· The 1922 Western Softwood Lumber Grading Rules: An exhaustive examination of "sound, tight knots" and permissible wane.
· NASA Man-Systems Integration Standards: An analysis of workstation ergonomics and fastener accessibility in zero-gravity conditions.
· The 1954 Singer Sewing Machine Manual: An instructional guide detailing oscillating hooks and bobbin tension.
· The Global Non-Compliance Ledger: An alphabetical, clinical enumeration of first names from Santa's "Naughty List."
· The International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC 1972): A detailed structural assessment of the twenty-foot equivalent unit.
The podcast eschews the clichés typically associated with the sleep genre-there is no whispering (ASMR), no forced emotionality, no monotonous music, and no narrative hooks. Instead, Kachan employs a flat, professional tone that fulfills the brain's logical requirements while overwhelming its curiosity, a method psychologists refer to as "cognitive shunting."
Deeply Unimportant is now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms. For listeners desiring uninterrupted, ad-free "all-night" episodes along with other exclusive content, a premium ad-free feed can be accessed at deeplyunimportant.com.
