It's sort of like easy listening, but for fiction.

It's a bit like a grown-up version of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, gentle, thoughtful, and full of everyday magic.

It's from the creator of the internationally beloved podcast, Nothing Much Happens, and the series expands the village into a rich, ongoing world.

It isn't about falling asleep.

It's about comfort, calm, and the joy of a good story.

If you're new, try episode 84.

It's called All Animal Edition, and it is a delightful introduction to the village's quiet pace and fun whimsy.

You can listen to stories from the village of Nothing Much wherever you get your podcasts.

Good evening, Little Masters, and welcome to episode 411 of the Prancing Pony Podcast, where Matt has been trying to find Shire himself as quickly as he could.

Wow.

All right.

Well played.

I knew you had to find a way to turn it around.

I wonder if Moria is in a different time zone than Shire.

Maybe that's part of the problem.

Anyway, we'll get to that.

You know what?

I bet it is.

It's got to be.

Time zones weren't a thing until... See, you know what?
