I like the idea of learning something new every day. I just don't always have an hour to sit down and do it. That's why I like Everything Everywhere daily. Each episode is about 10 minutes, and you walk away knowing something you didn't before. It covers everything from history and science to geography and really interesting people, so it never feels repetitive. I especially liked their episode on the history of pizza and NASA's human computers. They're short, but they stick with you. And they're the kind of thing you end up bringing up later in conversation.
It's one of the most popular daily education podcasts out there, and it's easy to see why. You can listen in the car while you're making dinner or when you want a small, satisfying dose of curiosity. Learn something new every single day with Everything Everywhere Daily. Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and then you fall asleep. I'm Katherine Nicolai.
I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens. Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. We give to a different charity each week. And this week we are giving to Birdies Bookmobile, a nonprofit organization committed to ending book deserts and improving children's literacy and book access in Metro Detroit. Learn more about them in our show notes. For ad-free episodes, subscribe to our premium feed at nothingmuchappens.com. This is a form of brain training. We're conditioning a response that will improve over time. All you need to do is listen. I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through. Our story tonight is called April Showers, and it's a story about a cloudy day spent shopping in the village.
It's also about the lovely sound the point of an umbrella makes against cobblestones, a bicycle ride taken just before the rain falls, and the perfect place to settle in and watch once it does. I am a certified skincare fanatic, and I wanna share something that I've been using that feels a little different from the usual skincare conversation. OneSkin is built by longevity researchers, and instead of focusing only on how skin looks, They're looking at how it functions and ages at the cellular level. They've developed the OS1 peptide, which targets zombie cells that contribute to wrinkles and loss of elasticity. The idea is to actually slow skin aging at the source and not just cover it up. I like that it's simple, it fits easily into my routine, and it feels like a more thoughtful way to care for my skin over time.
Born from over a decade of longevity research, OneSkin's OS1 peptide is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age. For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code NOTHINGMUCH at oneskin.co slash nothingmuch. That's 15% off oneskin.co with code NOTHINGMUCH. After you purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them, and you can let them know we sent you. Okay, lights out campers. It's time. Set everything down. Prioritize your own comfort. How do you need to arrange yourself to feel the most relaxed? Take those last lingering thoughts and let them go. Let them dissolve.
They only have the power you give them.
Take a deep breath in through your nose. Let it out your mouth. Nice. One more. Breathe in. And out.
Good. April showers.
I'd brought along my umbrella today. And by the look of the skies this afternoon, It seemed like a wise choice. I had a little collection of umbrellas in the stand by my front door. I had the standard collapsible kind, the sort that folded up into an astonishingly small package and could be easily carried in a pocket or a bag. I had a couple of the long standard kind, black fabric and a curved handle, and a neat snap to keep it folded when not in use. And I had a pretty pink one that I'd been given as a child.
