Happy Pride, my loves. In this affirming bedtime story, a shy country mouse visits his city cousin during Pride and discovers a world where he can finally be himself. There are flags, snails, glitter, and gentle lessons about visibility, belonging, and bravery.

OUT Like a Light is the sleep podcast made for LGBTQ+ listeners—created by someone who gets it. No ads. No judgment. Just love, softness, and stories to tuck you in.

This week on OUT Like a Light, John Scott returns from a starry retreat with a heart full of new story ideas. After a week away camping with his fiancé at a gay retreat, he brings us back to a tender childhood memory—pretending his bed was a space capsule drifting through the cosmos. That moment of imaginative comfort becomes the inspiration for tonight’s floating space meditation.

Then, in our bedtime story, “The Star on the Other End,” we follow a quiet queer soul who rediscovers their inner light after losing their job and wrestling with the weight of a world that doesn’t always feel welcoming. Through a chance connection with what they think is a distant star—spotted through an old backyard telescope—they begin a silent friendship that reminds them: the light they needed was never out there. It was inside them all along.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked up and wondered if they belonged out there more than they do down here. You are not broken. You are stardust. And you were never meant to dim.

As always, we thank Chris Haugen and Jesse Gallagher for their beautiful music. While YouTube doesn’t require attribution, we believe in honoring those who make this work possible.

In this heartfelt twelfth episode of OUT Like a Light, John Scott invites you to slow down with a calming bedtime meditation and a fresh take on an old story.

🧡 The meditation centers around the sensory comfort of floating in orange goo — warm, soft, and safe — helping you ease tension and sink into rest.

Then, in tonight’s story, “The Long Road Home,” we revisit the Tortoise and the Hare, long after their race has ended. Now middle-aged and changed by life, they reconnect not as rivals, but as companions on a shared path of healing. No finish line. No audience. Just the long, gentle road ahead — and the wisdom of walking it together.

✨ LGBTQ+ affirming ✨ No ads, no interruptions ✨ Just peace, reflection, and rest

In this special listener-requested episode of OUT Like a Light, John Scott welcomes you back to the sanctuary—a quiet, affirming space to rest, feel safe, and feel seen. This time, we're honoring Joseph, who requested a modern reimagining of The Frog and The Toad. The result? A deeply soothing, middle-aged queer bedtime tale about enduring friendship and love that stays—even after everything life has thrown your way.

You’ll start with a grounding meditation that nurtures your inner sanctuary and a kind, fatherly inner voice—perfect for those of us healing from cPTSD, rough childhoods, or just a long day.

Then we drift into a story. One with no voices to imitate. Just a gentle narration of Frog and Toad—older, softer, still here—learning to sit beside each other and breathe again.

A huge thank you to Joseph for inspiring this episode, and to Vira Miller and Yellow Tree for the breathtaking soundscape.

Welcome to Episode 10 of OUT Like a Light—our cozy little milestone! Thank you for being part of this journey. This podcast is a safe, ad-free space for LGBTQ+ listeners to wind down, feel seen, and fall gently asleep.

Tonight’s episode, Blue and the Blackbird, is a tender adventure about what it really means to be brave—not loud or fearless, but steady and true. Inspired by Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule (which has been helping me build courage in my own life), we begin with a meditation designed to help you let go of the day… and then we drift into a story about finding quiet strength, even when your heart is scared.

Thank you to the talented musicians who’ve supported this project, and to you, dear listener, for coming back each week. If this podcast has brought you rest or comfort, please consider sharing it with a friend and following us wherever you listen.
