Just as you don’t get to choose your family, you don’t always get to choose your neighbors. Sometimes this means that you meet someone who will help paint your house, someone you want to invite to dinner, or someone to share an interesting story with. Neighbors and communities often are the roots for the most interesting and heartwarming tales that we know. These stories are passed down through the community from generation to generation and are the birthplace of legends. They are used as a source of identity and can easily bring people together if we take the time to get to know them.

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.

What's a story that you've learned a lot from? On today's BITE, Kevin Cordi shares "The Philosopher's Story" where a young man tires to find wisdom in a philosopher's words. Sam is joined in the studio by Teresa Love.

To be honest, figuring out the truth can be a fickle and complicated process although it is vastly rewarding. Perhaps you remember times when you were tempted to lie, or found it hard to share the truth. Or maybe you’ve been in situations when you didn’t even know what the real truth was! Through tales from David Vanadia, Simon Brooks, Mark Binder, and Laurie Allen we hope to explore some of the many interesting and nuanced repercussions of being honest.
