Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens, with audio engineering by Bob Witter

Scheim.

Find us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

We'll have some exciting news to share with you soon, so let's be connected.

Now, since every episode is someone's first, I'd like to say a bit about how this works.

I have a story to tell you, and just like the name implies, nothing much happens in it.

I write the opposite of thrillers.

I write soothers.

And if you just follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the story,

we'll capture enough of your brain's attention to ease it into task-positive mode and out

of default mode, which just means you'll fall asleep.

I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

If you wake in the night, don't hesitate to turn us right back on, or to just think through

any of the details from the story that you can remember.

We're creating a conditioned response in your brain, and it will get stronger and more

reliable with time.

Be patient if you're new to this.

Now it's time to turn off the light, and to put away anything you've been playing with

or looking at.
