Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which Nothing much happens. You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai. I write and read all the stories you hear and nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

We give to a different charity each week,

and this week we are giving to the Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit.

They work to provide gently used furniture to neighbors in need,

giving stability and dignity to families overcoming challenges,

like homelessness, domestic violence, extreme poverty, or sudden crises like fires or floods.

You can learn more about them in our show notes.

Your support means the world to us.

We always want to be able to provide this service to the millions that

is to become a premium subscriber. It comes out to about a dime a day,

and you get tons of bonus and extra long episodes, and all 17 seasons of nothing much happens,
