Here at the Apple Seed we like to party! However, if we're honest, there are probably times when we'd rather just stay at home and be alone. How do you feel about parties? Think about it as you listen to Bill Harley's "Come on Out and Play." Sam is joined in the studio by Assistant Producer, Jenna Adams and Jared Bledsoe.

Did you ever get sick just at the wrong time? That's how Sam felt on his second day of college, and he remembers the story in today's Radio Family Journal entry. After that, anyone who has ever had a crush on someone our of their league, climbed the ladder to the high dive at the local pool, or binged on candy or soda at the pool snack bar will have something to remember when they hear "High Dive," a musical story from Bill Harley. And to round out the episode, we'll bring you the story of a genuine urban legend featuring a train, a date, and a pair of pants.
