Note ofcourse that for this to work, you need to be, like me, nowhere remotely interested in grain yields or commodity trading or work in related fields. I don't live in the US either. Nor do I have any business there. To put things in perspective, after listening to the podcast I had to Google why the world would possibly need so much soy sauce and only then discovered what a vital role soybean plays in the world economy.
I haven't found anything as soporific as listening to detailed stats on bushels of corn and tonnage of wheat presented by people who are earnestly interested in this. Played at 50% volume.
It's a podcast where the host reads a soothing story she wrote where very little happens
Themes include a huge range of topics such as working in her garden, stuff she sees while hiking, preparing a gift for a friend's wedding, etc
The stories take placr in a village called Nothing Much. Each story is independent but there are recurring characters
I often fall asleep before the episode ends
