Our stories today are about family coming together, one member at a time, as they’re found and recognized. We’ll start by following some tiny paw prints in the snow, digging through the cupboard to find food dishes and stoking the fire for any wandering visitors in need of some warmth in Lost and Found. Then we’ll watch the spring arrive, forsythia blooms and branches full of birds as we get to know each other in Toast and Marmalade. And finally, we’ll flip through the pages of the Village newspaper, till we’re stopped by a face that is new but instantly familiar in Marmalade and Crumb.

Marmalade & Crumb

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.

Our stories today are about the joy of imagination and the creative ways people can add magic into life. We’ll start with a cup of coffee and some time at the window in Daydreamer. Then we’ll stroll through downtown as warm weather brings villagers out to play in A Dance in the Park. Finally, we’ll step into the school gymnasium to pick out some new reads for the summer in Book Fair.

Daydreams, Dances & Books

Our stories today wind through sunny spring days. We’ll start with a trip into the country, a visit with someone dear, and some good advice from The Asparagus Patch. Then, we’ll roll up our sleeves and join in on a neighborhood effort in Spring Cleanup. Finally, we’ll let a memory lead us down a gravel drive, carry clippers into the field, and dream of ways to spread a bit of sunshine in the Tulip Farm.

Flowers & Vegetables

Our stories today follow two women, one as she learns new things and the other as she resides in a frame, looking over one shoulder, with a book in her hands. We’ll start with the exciting arrival of the community ed catalogue in Back to School. Then we’ll step into the studio to clear away years of dust and soot in Restoration. Finally, we’ll apply the finishing coat of varnish and consider all we have learned along the way in the Lady in the Painting.

The Lady in the Painting

Our stories today highlight some of the loveliest simple pleasures of the spring. A walk, a road trip, a day in the garden. We’ll start with one of my all-time favorite stories and one that inspired me to write a whole book (coming soon!). It’s called Old Houses and if you’ve ever walked through a neighborhood and wondered about the stories of the houses you see, the people who have lived there, it is for you. Then we’ll load up the car and head out to The Hideaway for some time at the Cabin. Finally, we’ll gather our trowels and seed packets and pace out the garden in Spring at the Allotment.

Old Houses, Walks & Gardens

Our Stories today, as promised are about animals. We are continuing Crumb and Marmalade’s stories, if you missed their first episode, go back in the feed to the one called Marmalade and Crumb, then come back here. We’ll start with Crumb Comes Home, and see how his first few month after being adopted went, spoiler alert: they went great! Then we’ll clip on his leash and head out in Dog Walk, to sniff the spring scents and enjoy the sunshine. Finally we’ll meet the rescue animals over at the farm sanctuary, spend some quality time with the donkeys, and feed the goats in The Weathervane
