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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Katherine Nicolai.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Witterschheim.

I'm very excited to do something new in 2023 on the podcast.

We'll be donating to a different charity with every single episode.

Your support, and that includes sharing the show with others, rating and reviewing and

listening to ads, helps us to do that.

So thank you.

This week in honor of the protagonist of our story, the Bookshop owner, we're donating

to bookaid.org, who is helping to make, quote, a world where everyone has access to books

that will enrich, improve and change their lives.

Find a link to them in the show notes.

Now, your brain needs a place to rest.

Story with just enough in it to carry you off to Dreamland, but not to keep you up.

And that's what I specialize in.

So just follow along with the sound of my voice.

And know that we are right now training your brain to have a reliable response and that

it will only improve with time and practice.

I'll tell a story twice and I'll go a bit slower on the second read through.

If you wake later in the night, don't hesitate to turn a story right back on or just think
