The Apple Seed

When was the last time life truly surprised you? Was it a good surprise or a bad surprise? Today on The Apple Seed, you’re going to hear a lot of stories that may convince you there are no bad surprises. Even when your eyes pop out of your head from shock (which happens in one of our stories today), there’s always a way to spring back and look on the bright side of life’s twist and turns.

As we age, we gain knowledge, wisdom, and even a few eccentric habits. This episode is all about the things - sage and quirky alike - that have been passed down to us from those who came before. You'll also hear an entry in the Radio Family Journal (about auditioning for a long-ago production of the musical Oliver), and a conversation with Rachel Wadham, who discusses the YA Novel, “Renegades”.

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.

 

Ever receive a gift you don't know what to do with? Then you'll relate to the characters in today's BITE. Here's a story by Joel Ben Izzy called "The Old King and His Daughters". Sam is joined in the studio by Don Shelline.
