Wellness Loud

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.

Spooky Season Walking Tour

Originally presented as Episode 38, September 9, 2024

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.

Spectator Stories (Encore)

On this Village walking tour, we’ll wander tree-lined streets, admire charming houses, peek into little free libraries, and meet neighbors with their pups. Along the way, we’ll chase the ice cream truck, stop at blooming gardens, and greet familiar friends like Ladybug, Crumb, Birdie, and Marmalade — ending the evening under a sky of crickets, fireflies, and stars.

Silence and Sunflowers

Originally aired August 19, 2024

Our stories today are part of a larger arc that started with the most popular residents of the Village, Marmalade the Cat, and her little brother, Crumb the Dog. I’d set out to just tell the next part of their story, but found a spark that would eventually lead to love. First comes Raining Cats and Dogs, where we can listen to the thunder, shuffle around the house in the dim, stormy light, and contemplate plans for the day. Then we’ll hear Old Friends, a story about a day spent watching movies on the couch, a greyhound in a yellow rain slicker, and a fresh cup of coffee with a bit of sugar stirred in. Finally, we’ll follow the mail carrier through the neighborhood as he delivers special missives with LOVE stamps in RSVP.

A Hot Summer Day, Spent Three Ways

Originally presented as Episode 29, July 8, 2024

Our stories today lean into the romance and sentimental feelings of the summer. We’ll start with In the Kitchen, During a Storm, as the wind picks up and the Pomodoro sauce simmers on the stove. This story, by the way, mentions alcohol, in case that doesn’t work for you and you need to skip it. Then we’ll put the river on our left and roll down the windows as we visit The Turnaround; we’ll look out at the lighthouses and creep close to the shore to listen to the water lap at the rocks. Finally, we’ll follow the call of a summer evening out to the park where a memory, long forgotten, arises in Someplace Only We Know.
