The NoSleep Podcast is supported by most podcast apps available for iPhone, Android, iOS, and Windows. As a bonus, Season Pass members are also awarded three additional episodes throughout the season. Season Pass membership includes bonus stories in each episode, increasing each episode's typical length to over two hours. Seasons of the NoSleep Podcast contain at least 25 episodes which each run for approximately one hour. It also allowed the show to expand releases to a weekly schedule.

The Season Pass Program has been successful in not only sustaining the show, but also in allowing David Cummings to focus full-time on production.

This is unique in that fans of the show (referred to as the 'Sleepless') who are not a part of the program still receive free access to shorter versions of each episode, generally consisting of the first one or two stories, as they’re released.

Just before the release of its 3rd Season The NoSleep Podcast unveiled the Season Pass Program, whereby listeners pay a one-time subscription fee each season to have access to 25 full length episodes, in addition to a selection of subscriber-exclusive bonus episodes. As the quality of the show increased, expanding from a 30-minute format to over two hours per episode, the show announced that it had become unsustainable without outside funding. The NoSleep Podcast began as a volunteer endeavor, with all expenses being paid for out of pocket by its core team. Special guests that have appeared on the podcast include Mike Flanagan, Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan, Elijah Wood, and Kurtis Conner. The NoSleep Podcast is also one of the few podcasts in its genre that pays its creative contributors. Grim, “What Happens When the Stars Go Out” by Jesse Clark, and “Psychosis' by Matt Dymerski.

The NoSleep Podcast has also been featured stories from authors who have gone on to publish their works, including the “ Penpal” series from Dathan Auerbach, “99 Brief Scenes from the End of the World” by T.W. In 2015, the podcast was downloaded 600,000 times. Every year the show also produces a new collection of the flash stories in their “Suddenly Shocking” series and a retro radio drama series, “Old Time Radio”. New episodes typically air every Sunday and contain five or six stories per episode, not including bonus releases. The show also works with a number of artists to create original illustrations for each episode. The NoSleep Podcast theme was written by David Cummings and has evolved with each season of the show. Self-taught composer Brandon Boone, who joined The NoSleep Podcast in 2013, became responsible for the majority of the show’s music by Season 5. Despite horror arguably being a traditionally male-dominated genre, many of the narrators and authors of stories featured on the show, and also half of its 2 million regular monthly listeners are female. Regular voices on the show who provide narration for its stories include David Cummings, Jessica McEvoy, Peter Lewis, Nikolle Doolin, Nichole Goodnight, David Ault, Jeff Clement, Erika Sanderson, Addison Peacock, Mike DelGaudio, Atticus Jackson, Dan Zappulla, James Cleveland, Elie Hirschman, Kyle Akers, Alexis Bristowe, Jesse Cornett, Mick Wingert, and Erin Lillis. The popularity of The NoSleep Podcast rapidly grew as the production quality became more professional.

During their first two seasons, David Cummings assumed the role of host and producer, working with volunteer Redditors to help narrate and produce content for the show. The idea was well received and a few months later a small group of members released the first episode of The NoSleep Podcast. With the popularity of NoSleep, a member named Matt Hensen proposed the idea of creating a podcast where the top stories from the NoSleep subreddit would be narrated in an audiobook style. NoSleep began as a subreddit, or forum, on Reddit where people would exchange scary stories and frightening experiences.
