From the village of nothing much...
Let's get sleepy
Bedtime stories give your mind something to follow when it wants to go over the whole day again. Tonight, you can follow Kathryn into the Village of Nothing Much instead. There might be soup on the stove or a light still on at the Café.
Kathryn tells each story twice, a little slower the second time. There’s no need to stay awake for the ending.
Each week, we support a nonprofit organization. See the causes we’ve supported in past episodes.
Also, listen on –
The Turnaround (Encore)
Our story tonight is called The Turnaround, and it’s a story about a trip down a gravel road on a summer day. It’s also about bulrushes and bonfires, family stories, and coming back to a place you know well.
Off the Beaten Path
Our story tonight is called Off the Beaten Path, and it’s a story about a bit of summer adventuring and the delight of coming across something you never knew was there. It’s also about stalks of lavender and a copper still in a field, turkeys and treehouses, and taking a road that leads somewhere new.
Beach Walk (Encore)
Our story tonight is called Beach Walk, and it’s a story about meeting the morning light where the water meets the land. It’s also about the first step into the cool water, a dog chasing a stick into the waves, and a beach towel laid out neatly in the sand.
In the Map Room (Encore)
Our story tonight is about exploring old maps, discovering hidden corners, enjoying peaceful bike rides, and finding quiet beauty in the simple act of wandering.
Out and Back
Our story tonight is about taking a peaceful evening walk through the countryside, where fresh hay, hickory trees, singing katydids, and the quiet rhythm of a summer night gently remind us to slow down and be fully present.
