Where everyday life is full of glimmers of ordinary magic
Stories from the Village
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.

Autumn at the Inn
Our stories today are about an autumn getaway to the Inn, beginning with a worn business card and a last-minute reservation during peak color season.
Early Autumn Stories (Encore)
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.
Splash, Crunch, Sigh
Our stories today are about savoring the last stretch of summer and noticing the first hints of change. We’ll dive from the swim platform into the lake, join Chef at the Inn for an afternoon of pickle-making, and wander through the Village as the earliest signs of autumn begin to appear.
