Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. Before we dig in and cozy down, let me remind you that all our lovely NMH merch, our weighted pillow, and autographed books are available at the link in our notes or at nothingmuchappens.com. Tonight, we are bringing you something special. An extra long episode of our own holiday favorite, Staff Picks.
Perfect to play while you sit by the tree, snuggle into your favorite ugly sweater, or fall asleep with a belly full of gingerbread. I asked each team member to give me their favorite December episode of the show. Is our group chat called Nothing Much Staffans? It is. And I thought, as I told you a bit about what to expect tonight,
I could also tell you a little about the lovely people who helped me bring these stories to you. First tonight, we have Bob's pick, which is Holiday at Weathervane Farm. And I think that is proof that Bob secretly likes all the puns, because that story is full of them. Bob is, as you have heard me say many times, our audio engineer.
which means he takes care of every element of how this show sounds. Bob and I met through a mutual friend years ago. He was the first person I turned to when I was ready to make my little idea of bedtime stories for grown-ups into a reality. He's been there for me and for you. for every single episode of this show. He keeps me grounded and focused, and his meme game is top tier.
He sleeps very well and lives very happily in Ypsilanti, Michigan, with his wife, Barbara, and an ever-fluctuating number of humans and animals. Next, we have Lindsay's pick, which is Mistletoe and Marmalade, a delightful story featuring our favorite animals in the village and just a bit of romance.
Now, Lindsay takes care of our website, and if you need help with that yourself, I've got a link to her business in our notes. She is fantastic at taking a disjointed voice memo from me, where I'm not even sure what I'm asking for, and turning it into the absolutely charming sight we now have. She and her daughter Briar listen together most nights, and I hope that the memories they're making now
Spending that quiet time together will last a long time.
Nate is my manager, and in most senses, my business partner. He listens to all my wild dreaming, all my silly ideas, and then helps me make them actually happen. He cares so much about what we are making here. Not just that we are helping folks to sleep, but that we are giving comfort and community when many need it most.
Nate picked Model Trains and Make Believe, a sweet story about a visit to an exhibit in downtown on a chilly night. Another very valuable member of Team NMH is Kaylee. She helps us with marketing and design. She designed all of our merchandise. and remade our logos this year, among many other projects. She has a beautiful vision for all the work that I do, and she helps me see it.
She picked The Innkeeper's Holiday, which is basically me wanting to write a white Christmas episode. It's a story about the innkeeper and chef, getting ready for the inn to bustle with guests and merriment. I'll slip my own pick in here, which is The Tree Farm. It's a story about an orphan tree finding its way home for the holidays.
And did you catch the mention of it this year in Grey Cat and Grimoire? Now, I saved Megan's pick for last, because her favorite is Game Night, which I also really love. And it takes place latest in the month. It captures a moment near New Year's and is full of friends and food and fun. Megan is in charge of community care at NMH. I sometimes call her our fairy pod mother.
She moderates all our social media pages. She is the kind, loving person answering your emails and DMs. She can help you with the big feelings that sometimes come up. And with as much care, also tech support.
So these are the people who work so hard to make sure you are tucked in with love and thoughtfulness each night. And I feel very lucky to work with them. They all support me. and help to make what I do more effective and dreamy. So from all of us at Nothing Much Happens, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a long winter's nap.
And if you've made it this far, you probably don't need me to say that I'll tell the story twice. and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
