The Apple Seed

In this episode, meet Ben Gunn, one of the characters in Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel. You'll also hear a conversation with Cole Wissinger about how, at 4 years old, he discovered Boris Karloff's monster movies. All this, and an entry in the Radio Family Journal, too!

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.

 

On today's BITE you'll hear a story from David Holt called "The Flying Cat", in which one woman's tragedy is another woman's Christmas miracle. Sam is joined in the studio by Librarian, Rachel Wadham.
