Monday, November 9, 2026 • Duration 37:03

Originally Aired on November 4th, 2024 Our stories today invite you to slow down and enjoy doing very little. We’ll start with The Joy of Missing Out, where we can climb back into bed after the first cup of coffee is gone and read till our eyes won’t stay open. Then, we’ll stroll to the cafe downtown and sit at the table by the window while we study the menu. And when the rain begins to fall, we’ll be glad we’ve got a Table for One. Finally, we’ll slide our umbrella in the stand at the front door and put the big pot on the stove, in A Rainy Day, Making Soup. And if you stay around after the last story, I have some book recommendations for you, as well as my usual ramblings.

Spooky Season (Encore)

Season 1 · Episode 139

Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 35:22

Originally aired October 14, 2024 It’s spooky season in the Village, and we’re heading out into the crisp autumn air for three Halloween stories. We’ll spend the evening in an old house learning to make friends with whoever might share our space, wander through cleared fields after the harvest to help a friend stand tall once again, and roam the streets on All Hallows’ Eve beneath glowing porch lights. There will be costumes and fresh-cut hay, excited trick-or-treaters, a gust of wind that turns us around, and the first drops of rain beginning to fall. One of our stories is even, in the gentlest way possible, just a smidge spooky. Mostly, though, these are stories about friendship, imagination, and making memories with the people we love.

The Curios Circle (Encore)

Season 1 · Episode 138

Monday, October 12, 2026 • Duration 33:59

In this collection of autumn stories, we’ll follow a little thread of magic through the Village. We’ll climb into an attic where an old family heirloom and a familiar friend are waiting, find our way into a curious little shop that only appears under just the right circumstances, and step behind the curtain to witness the beginning of a friendship. Along the way, there will be old trunks and photographs, creaky wooden floors, a velvet-covered book, a small grey cat with yellow eyes, and a copper kettle simmering on the stove with cinnamon sticks and sliced apples. These are stories about old things finding their way home, new friendships beginning, and the gentle magic that can appear when we know where to look.
