Stargazing in the Woods Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Our story tonight is called Stargazing in the Woods, and it’s a story about a few days away from everything and at the same time closer to everything. It’s also about flat stones for skipping, an old blanket spread under the night sky, and a realigned perspective to take home after the embers die.

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving the Detroit Creativity Project, bringing free improv programs to schools and community centers to build confidence, collaboration, and the social skills that students use daily in other classes, at work, and in life.

Slightly More Happens - September Splendor Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Our stories tonight are, if I do say so myself, such a treat. If you have ever wished to book a stay at the Inn of Nothing Much and watch the leaves change while sipping coffee from the back porch. If you love trains and journals and cats and trays of food sent up from the kitchen, these stories are for you.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to Brown Bag Lady. Rooted in using kindness, food and essentials as a way to improve the lives of others throughout Los Angeles.
