Stories from the Village of Nothing Much

iHeartPodcasts

In the Village of Nothing Much, everyday life is full of glimmers of ordinary magic. From the Inn on the Lake to the Farmer’s Market, from the bookshop in downtown to the cabin in the woods, enjoy soothing stories that lean into small pleasures and celebrate community. Based on the enormously popular podcast Nothing Much Happens, these family-friendly stories are an antidote to anxiety and a dose of simple goodness. Listen on your commute, on a walk, or whenever you want to visit a place where people are kind and simple things are enjoyed.

    Frost & Found Things

    Our stories today take you down a woody trail, into the heart of downtown Nothing Much, and through to the park as the cold fog burns off. We’ll start with The Middle Path, remembering to let movement be a pleasure, and a walk in the brisk air be a reset to the senses. Then we’ll stop to watch the train come into the station, and carry a newly bought bunch of flowers home, in Bells and Whistles. Finally, we’ll rise on a chilly morning to get the paper from the front stoop and admire the ice on the windows in First Frost.

    Softly Softly meditation on First This.

    Quiet Autumn Stories

    Our stories today invite you to slow down and enjoy doing very little. We’ll start with The Joy of Missing Out, where we can climb back into bed after the first cup of coffee is gone and read till our eyes won’t stay open. Then, we’ll stroll to the cafe downtown and sit at the table by the window while we study the menu. And when the rain begins to fall, we’ll be glad we’ve got a Table for One. Finally, we’ll slide our umbrella in the stand at the front door and put the big pot on the stove, in A Rainy Day, Making Soup. And if you stay around after the last story, I have some book recommendations for you, as well as my usual ramblings.

    Sycamore and the Gravestones, Parts 1 - 3

    Our stories today take us into the warm Curios Shop on a chilly day, out to the Inn to investigate a dark knot in a tall tree in the side yard, and through the iron gate at the graveyard to read the names on the stones. We’ll sip tea, consider our dreams, find friends, and mend what is broken in Sycamore and the Gravestones parts 1, 2, & 3.

    The Curios Circle

    Our stories today take you on a journey for some special residents of the Village of Nothing Much. We’ll start in a cozy kitchen, flipping through recipes at the table when a special delivery arrives in Grandmother’s Grimoire. Then, we’ll stop to look at the moon and discover a hidden treasure along a dark street in The Curios Shop. Finally, we’ll set the kettle to boil and drop an extra stick of cinnamon in the simmering pot as we await a guest in Behind the Curtain.

    Spooky Season

    Our stories today treat you, and only maybe a little trick you, at one of the best times of the year. We’ll start with Halloween, in an Old House, listening for the bump in the attic as we toast our pumpkin seeds, and get ready for visitors at the door. Then, we’ll roll up the sleeves on our favorite flannel shirt and head out into the mowed-down hay fields to visit a friend in Scarecrow. Finally, we’ll get into costume and stop in front of that old house on the corner that never has any lights on, in Trick or Treat.

    Outside in the Autumn

    Our stories today get you out into the fresh autumn air to watch the leaves turn and fall. We’ll start with The Corn Maze or the Say Yes Club, where we’ll travel with some friends out into the country and try our luck at getting lost and then found among the stalks. Then we’ll step into the garden in Rosemary for Remembrance, to cut and cure the gourds, to smell the herbs at the end of their harvest, and to appreciate the nature in and around us. Finally, we’ll put on our helmets and peddle out of town in Autumn Ride, to let the leaves rain down on us and ring our bike bells under the trees.

    The Big Day & At the Reception

    Our stories today put the final bow on this wedding gift we have been preparing for a few weeks. We’ll start with The Big Day, as the Innkeeper makes her rounds through the corridors, calming nerves, and guiding guests down to the lake. There will be a Best Hound and a Marmalade of Honor, and rows of familiar faces waiting for the music to start. After the vows, we’ll listen to At the Reception, and get ready to feast and dance and raise a glass yes, to the couple but also love itself.

    Something New, Borrowed, & Blue

    Our stories today pick up where we left last week, as we get closer and closer to a very special event in the Village. We’ll start with Something New, a story about a bicycle ride to a secret spot, a hand-drawn map with an X to mark the spot, and the joy of watching a friend fall in love. Then, in Something Borrowed, we’ll head down into the kitchens at the Inn as the wedding cake is made; we’ll talk about cinnamon and cardamom and a gift made with sugar and flour and love and care. Finally, in Something Blue, we’ll climb up the old treehouse ladder on the sycamore and remember how it all started, with a little orange kitten and paw prints in the snow.

    More On Our Love Story

    Our stories today start with a find discovered at the village yard sale. We’ll spend an afternoon in a field with a friend, gathering a harvest and greeting the neighbors in The Pecan Tree. Then, in Special Delivery at Weathervane Farm, we’ll check the mailbox and add what we find in it to the fridge door. Finally, we’ll set out to find the perfect gift for the happy couple in Something Old.

    Spectator Stories

    Our stories today highlight some lovely spectator experiences in the Village of Nothing Much. We’ll settle into the joy of stepping back and observing. First, we’ll stroll down to the park and toss a blanket over the grass, where we can listen to the crack of the bat as the inning passes in At the Diamond. Then we’ll button up a flannel shirt, stop for a cup of hot cider, and climb to the top section in In the Bleachers. Finally, we’ll settle in on the patio, around the bonfire as it snaps and crackles, and wait for the clouds to clear in Harvest Moon.

    Early Autumn Stories

    Our stories today start in the garden as we harvest a few tomatoes on our way to take the washing down from the line in The Last Warm Days. Then, we’ll shake off a stale mood and find a few small ways to practice joy in A Change of Scenery. Finally, we’ll roll up the cuffs on our pants and step into the sand just as the sun is setting on the lake in Bonfire.
