The Apple Seed

Every single one of us has entered this world in the same way - as a baby. Babies are equally adorable as they are troublesome; and today we’ll hear stories from Allison Downey, Bill Harley, Glenda Bonin, and Leeny Del Seamonds about the copious amounts of love and anxiety these little bundles of joy bring with 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.

 

Nothing seems to spring a young person into action faster than the magical sound of an approaching ice cream truck. On today's BITE, you'll a hear a story by Adam Booth called, oddly enough, "The Ice Cream Truck". Sam is joined in the studio by Ian Puente.

On today's BITE, you'll hear a story that illustrates the importance of being quick on one's feet, or in this case...hooves. "Goat Gets Away" is told by Jim Weiss. Sam is joined in the studio by Storytelling Professor, Teresa Love.

In 1818, the English Romantic poet John Keats wrote that “poetry should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.” Perhaps this is why our storytellers reference poetry so often. Both mediums tell more than just events and feelings. They tell, teach, and sing something universal. Something so core to humanity that the listener thinks it came right out of their own mind. Today we’ll be bringing you a collection of stories that revolve around poetry and its effects on our lives. Join us as we listen to Finn Bille, Mitchell G. Capel, and Lani Peterson as they tell tales and even perform a few pieces of poetry from the likes of Maya Angelou and Paul Laurence Dunbar.
