The Apple Seed

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.

If you grew up in a chaotic household then you'll be able to empathize with the protagonist of "Help Me Mama" by Linda Gorham. If you didn't, then you'll certainly sympathize. Sam is joined in the studio by Assistant Producer, Karani Namunyu, as well as Paul Victor.

Have you ever searched for buried treasure? Sometimes, as Dorothy Gale discovered, you needn't look further than your own back yard, figuratively speaking. Sam and Assistant Producer, Caroline Coppersmith, discuss buried treasure as well as the homes in which they grew up.

In this special episode of The Apple Seed, hear part 3 of the new 10-part adventure podcast series Treasure Island 2020, a swashbuckling, time-traveling reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel Treasure Island.

In episode 3, James, Morgan, and Max find themselves face to face with Long John Silver. He's a one-legged, seafaring man, but surely not the one Billy Bones warned them about, right?

Enjoy a story by Catherine Conant, “The Green Hand” by Joel ben Izzy, and “La Befana” by Antoinette Griffin.
