This is the kind of the escape that my heart and mind didn’t even know it needed. Thank you for weaving these beautiful stories so mundane and rooted in the seasons that it calms and uplifts my spirit. Love love love listening 💓

I want to live in this village created by this talented team. Thank you for providing a slice of serenity and decency from which we can partake. What a lovely oasis in the midst of our arid compartmentalized modern lives.

I so appreciate these sweet stories from the Village of Nothing Much. It is the perfect antidote to the never ending barrage of negative content out there. Thank you so much.

When I wake up in the morning and play this podcast, I feel like it makes the sun rise! I know it’s kinda ka-ray-zee PS: You should put Bob in this show too. ————————— A kid that still wanna know😄!

I love listening to these stories as I’m doing things around the house or going for a walk. Beautiful, thank you :)

i love this podcast it helps so much with sleeping, but i can't afford to subscribe to every podcast to remove ads. i don't mind listening to ads, but there has to be a better way to deliver them! for example, reading the ads in the host's voice without blasting annoying ads and...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to NMH for a while now and was over the moon when this daytime version was announced. I want to send out a BIG HUGE MASSIVE thank you to Kathryn and Bob for putting together such a wonderful experience. Along with NMH, it has helped me immensely with my anxiety, stress or just...Read full review »

I cannot believe how much I love these stories!!! I found this podcast from an ad on another podcast and decided to try listening. I could feel my body relaxing as I listened. I found myself closing my eyes and making the story come to life in my head. Having grown up in a small town, many of...Read full review »

This podcast is like being wrapped in a chunky knit blanket on a chilly evening.
Cami2224 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/24
The host’s voice is so soothing.
Factorbot via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/10/24
Thank you for theses stories that go with the sleep ones. The stories are great.
Storyactor via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/04/24
I absolutely adore your stories. They are gentle and comforting and kindly ease me back into my own memories and stories. Thank you Kathryn.
Cock Gobler via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 02/28/24
It was enjoyable until the ad came on halfway through at double the volume.
bela3309 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/26/24
I don’t agree with the reviews that this distracts from the bed time version-before I discovered this I used to listen to NMH on 1.5x speed during the day so this is perfect. Keep on keeping on Kathryn!!!
Ennjaypee via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/21/24
I love the NMH stories, but I can’t see what you get in addition if you pay for the Premium subscription. The Village of Nothing Much stories just consist of stories from the original NMH podcast, grouped together in threes and set to music. Ad-free doesn’t make any difference because I get no...Read full review »

I know this is not the intended reaction, but these always bring this lonely old man to tears.
hdjhrhdiciw via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/12/24
I love these stories but the new ones definitely don’t make me want to sleep last time. I get that it’s meant to be able to listen to without falling asleep because it’s enjoyable to hear the whole story but the background is so bothersome to me atleast with the snow, train models, and Joy....Read full review »

I love this podcast. It’s friendly and welcoming, envelopes you in a sense of childhood innocence. A world where everything is lovely and good. You come away from each episode feeling refreshed, calmer, happier.
HintofWinter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/24
Each little story is the same length as my bus journey to work and it keeps me calm, focussed and stops my mind wandering into what ifs and racing ahead into the day. It has the same effect on me as doing my short yoga practice, I feel like I’ve looked after myself if I’ve given time to listening...Read full review »

Love this podcast so much!!! I love listening to these calming stories of life and the enticing descriptions are so picturesque. I’m new to this podcast but I am positive that I will be a frequent listener! Thank you so much for this little comfort in life, this made my day!😍
I_heart_music_668 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
The ads are horrible and ruin this wonderful “village”. There must be a better way…..and it is simply not realistic to subscribe to every podcast, now that they all are asking for money.
04Ry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
This is the perfect show for any time. The Village of Nothing much is filled with low stakes stories that will put you at ease. These stories are written and told in the most soothing voice with wonderful back ground sounds to add flavour. Don't forget to check out the other podcasts...Read full review »
august_95 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/25/24
…but I agree with the previous reviewer, the sound effects are distracting and I switched off after about three minutes. I feel that the jolly tone of these extra stories might weaken the power of the sleepy ones- that I listen to each night and rely on. ( I am happy to be a subscriber, and look...Read full review »

New to this podcast and enjoying the relaxation of listening to these stories daily. Thank you!
Halfpint 86 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/24
This show brings me so much joy and positive. It has had a great impact on my life and keeping grounded when I need it most! So THANK YOU!
Ladykbugg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
Love the sound architecture but once you feel cozy With Katherine loud ads come screaming in your ear I also love nothing much happens. Oh and my name is Henry Thomas Ray.
Raysplays Henry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
I love these little visits to my favorite village since St. Mary Mead—these stories are gentle, soothing, and deeply immersive. I have already listened to every episode several times!
Marillenbaum via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/24
If you are listening to the ad version of this podcast and trying to relax, good luck. Between calming verse you’ll have the loudest and most abrasive ads one can think of. It is terrific irony, but not in an amusing way.
nieztcha_machina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/24
Such calming scenarios presented by a soothing voice, creating relaxation, and then… Loud and obnoxious commercials suddenly in your ear! Sure, you can pay $5/month, $60/year to go ad free but it’s not worth that.I will unsubscribe and look for a better value.
listening4joyandpeace via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/24
I have listened to these stories whilst driving home from work. It’s perfect as it’s only 20 minutes . The large supermarket I work in blares out dreadful music over the inhouse music system and it’s nice to sit in my car .. breath in then out, pop on a story and drive as Nothing Much Happens...Read full review »

So good BUT…. Ads! Ads at the beginning, ok fine. But ads in the middle??? Just as I’m getting cozy and calm, then theres an ad playing all of a sudden and it totally ruins the whole experience. Especially if you’re trying to listen before bed, there’s no way I could fall asleep with an ad...Read full review »

These stories help us to focus on finding joy, beauty, or peace in our everyday lives.

This podcast is the perfect cozy listen!
HollyRose1312 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/24
Lovely tales of simple life with soothing sound effects woven in. Stories that settle in your heart and mind that make you feel a little lighter, calmer, and more hopeful. Excellent podcast.
Paget100 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/12/24
Love listening the authors voice. It helps me enjoy the small thing like a great cup of coffee. Life has become so busy I forget to slow down to take it all in.

Awesome

I love listening this podcast while I’m piddling around the house or doing laundry. So very soothing and I like the sound effects. Keep going and keep up the good work !

Thank you Catherine! All your stories get me to breathe. 🧘 Thank you
jan2bet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/24
I can’t even get through the ad. ‘Architect of cozy’ is the most ridiculous statement! No thanks.
TT 2point0 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/24
Can’t wait for more episodes so I can fall asleep to this podcast
malcolm-XS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/24
Oh my god these podcast ads are annoying. “Architect of cozy”?? Jesus Christ give me a break this is so insufferable
joel ch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/23
I really love Kathryn Nicolai's voice and love this idea of having regular stories (as well as the sleep inducing stories that I've always love!💖). I was very excited about this new show, however I have sensory sensitivity issues and get sensory overload , and unfortunately the music in...Read full review »

Great stories, which I was keen to listen to, but the sound effects wreck it for me (I prefer to use my imagination). Shame 🙁
