The Apple Seed

Boo! It’s Halloween and we are getting spooky with folktales from around the world. We are joined in the studio today with assistant producer, Jenna Adams, excited to listen to stories from Mexico, Africa, Japan, Ireland and Spain. Storytellers from Motoko to Antonio Sacre entertain us with tales of ghouls and monsters as we celebrate this spooky holiday!

When you were a kid, you might have asked your friend “Let’s play pretend” and start a game full of adventure and wonder. Today on the Apple Seed, we are joined with assistant producer, Jenna Adams, to reminisce the times when we could dress up and be anyone in the universe. Storytellers, actors and musicians share their childlike imaginations ranging from zombies, princesses, pirates and skeletons.

Today, we bring you stories that focus on witches and a wizard. Great storytellers like Jess Smith, Beatrice Bowles, Big Joe Pagliuca and Peter J. Parker will share stories that will spark memories that you too can share wherever you are. Sam and Apple Seed family members are ready to share theirs.

Spooky season is here! Today on the Apple Seed we bring you a “Monster Mash”—a compilation of monster stories from all around the world. We hope you enjoy these stories about giant pumpkins, trout/moose hybrids, and other creatures that teach us that the best thing to do with a monster is to face it (and laugh too)!

Batter up! Today we are talking all things baseball here on the Apple Seed. Joining us in the dugout today with our guests assistant producer, Jenna Adams, and her father, Greg Adams. Greg Adams once played in the minors for the Brewers and we are excited to hear his stories of playing baseball. We are also delighted to hear an original Apple Seed baseball radio drama about Jim Abbott, the one handed pitcher, and other heroic tales of baseball’s legends. Play ball!

The beauty of language is in its versatility: it can unite and divide, inspire and humble, make fun and make sober. Sometimes it works just as we intended and sometimes it fails spectacularly. But there’s one thing that stays consistent across this complicated and even convoluted subject: language is so bound up in culture that it naturally creates stories. From ancient Mayan writings to the Navajo code talkers of World War II, join the Apple Seed team as we listen to stories about language and how it shapes our experience through life.
