This episode of Podversations features Kathryn Nicolai, host of the podcast Nothing Much Happens and iHeartPodcasts President, Will Pearson.

With years of experience as a yoga and meditation teacher, Kathryn has created the perfect podcast for falling asleep at night with Nothing Much Happens. Typically, podcasts are filled with epic sound design and cliffhangers to keep listeners engaged, but this one, nope, it’s filled with calmness that will send you into a state of tranquility. It's a unique concept - how often do we listen to a podcast designed for us to actually zone out while listening?

Kathryn joins Will to talk about how and why she came up with this podcast idea and where she sees it going in the future. With her calm voice and entire world of the Village of Nothing Much, adult bedtime stories have never been so calm and cool.
