    Feb 3 2025
    Our stories today start out on in the snow, as toboggans whiz past and saucers slip over the slopes. We’ll make snow angels and tromp around in our boots in The Sledding Hill. Then in The Greenhouse, we’ll put on our gardening gloves and clip roses for a big order for the Inn. Finally, we’ll welcome dear friends at the door and light the candles on the table for Sunday Dinner.

  • Village Museum Walking Tour

    Village Museum Walking Tour
    Jan 27 2025
    We are doing something a little different with today’s episode, and I hope you dig it. I am going to take you on a little walking tour of a favorite location in the Village on Nothing Much. What? How will that work? Yeah, I don’t know either. We’re going to figure it out together because, yes, the Village of Nothing Much is an imaginary place, a world I built story by story through my bedtime story podcast Nothing Much Happens, but why should that stop us? So you might want to listen to this while you are walking, just stretch your imagination a bit. Or listen wherever you are, just following along with me as I talk our way through the Great House and Village Museum, where the map room sits on the top floor, and the labyrinth awaits in the gardens.

    Quiet Winter Kindness
    Jan 20 2025
    Our stories today are about some of the joys of mid-winter. We’ll start by layering up the bed to keep the chill out in The Winter Quilt. Then we’ll step out into the fresh air and listen to some birdsong as icicles drip in Winter Views. Finally we’ll let one good turn lead to another in a story about snowy sidewalks and grocery sacks called Pass It On.

Nice to experience the village during the day

While the village brings me much comfort at night, trips to it also help me ease into my days. I’m excited for this podcast as well.

Heart warming stories we need to hear

These are wonderful stories to listen to first thing in the morning for a gentle and positive start to the day. Also great any time of the day. I love to listen to the baking stories when I’m baking and the gardening stories when I garden. It’s a great respite from all the negativity in media. When I start feeling anxious and overwhelmed the village of nothing much is a safe haven.Thank you so much for producing this podcast.

My Evening Weeknight Ritual

My days are always extremely full with a wonderful & busy toddler and a job that doesn’t slow down. My favorite way to relax each weeknight is listening to this podcast while doing a jigsaw puzzle — a ritual that just brings me so much peace in the evenings.

Thank you for creating such a lovely, peaceful, and relaxing podcast!

SIMPLICITY at its Finest!

I love Everything about this Podcast: deep breath to begin, basic yet interesting stories, slow and soft-paced (making you remember special moments in your own life), Kathryn’s voice, the donations. I’m so glad I found this by accident!

actually magic

I've been using all of Kathryn''s podcasts for a while now, and they are so effective that they are impacting the lives of people around me. I am sleeping better, so my partner is sleeping better. That in turn creates a better environment for every single thing, place, and person we come across throughout the day. Katheyn''s good vibes are my good vibes are now everybody's good vibes.
