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.

 

When have you struggled to be truthful? On today's BITE, Jill Lamede will tell us about the woes and rewards of honesty in a story called "The Empty Pot". Sam is joined in the studio by Brynna Baddock.

As we usher in the new year here at the Apple Seed, we’ve been thinking a lot about beginnings: maybe you’re starting a relationship, or picking up a new hobby, moving to a new house, or travelling to a foreign land. But whether that foreign land is across the ocean or across the street to your local gym, January and February often mark the beginning of more than just the year. Join the Apple Seed team as we listen to stories about those beginnings—the times our tellers and their characters tried something new.
