Tellers and Stories

Traveling is sometimes seen as something that only people with extra time and money are able to do but this isn’t completely true. Traveling can come in all sorts of ways whether that means traveling on a study abroad, traveling across countries or simply driving to a nearby lake, each one can bring about rare adventures. This can mean meeting someone new to connect with while wandering a foreign city, gathering a new skill, or simply learning an important lesson, traveling can act as a catalyst for some of the most interesting stories of our lives. We can use these stories and share them with those around us to help educate and entertain one another because “the journey of a thousand miles begins under your feet.”

From time to time, we'll post what we call a BITE ("like a regular episode, only shorter!"). We always hope that the stories you listen to on The Apple Seed will spark memories and thoughts that you can share with the ones you love -- perhaps even the people with whom you listen to the show. In a BITE, we'll listen to a single story -- one that we love -- and invite friends to share memories and thoughts that occur to them as they listen to it.

Have you ever underestimated someone? On today's BITE, Bill Gordh shares the story "Coyote and the Rattlesnake" where a Coyote finds a sleeping rattlesnake whom he finds hilarious. Sam is joined in the studio by Jeff Simpson.

Can you think of any place that brings more memories of family, warmth, and love than your home? Homes are where we learn new things, find ourselves, and eventually discover how to spread our wings and fly away to make our own homes. Clean or crazy, big or small, the lovely places we lay our heads at night are often the backdrop to some of the most funny, sad, or sweet stories we’ll ever experience. To tell us about the beautiful and sometimes messy places that homes can be are Lynn Ruehlmann, Odds Bodkin, and Dolores Hydock. To get your nostalgia flowing, we’ll first listen to an entry in the radio family journal and a conversation with a friend.
