The Apple Seed

The snow is melting and the weather is getting warmer and we hopethatthe stories from today’sepisode will spark some springtime feelings into your day. We will listen to “Spring” and “A Drop of Honey,” two stories by Tim Lowry.Then we have “Why Cats Live with Women” by Charlotte Blake Alston from heralbumHole in the Sea. This episode will also include “Listen to the Strings”by Kevin CordiandFinding Folklore / Bile Them Cabbage Down by Dolores Hydock. We will also listen to a story about the Diffendaffer Café, told by Laura K. Deal.

Today’s stories come to us from the wisdom of those who have intuition. Intuition can manifest itself in many ways: visions, gut feelings, or simply from life experience. We’ll hear the classic poem “Abu Ben Adam” by James Henry Leigh Hunt as performed by The D’s, then we’ll hear a classic song and story sung and told by John McCutcheon, Jeff Gere will tell us a silly tale about a forward-thinking king, Joel Ben Izzy will tell us a classic King Solomon story along witha different variation of it, then we’ll hear Mary Grace Ketner tell the legend of a clairvoyant, and then we’ll hear an Aesop-fable-esque story from Shelia Arnold. It’s a great mix of stories!

From time to time, we'll post what we call a BITE ("like a normal 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, we'll hear Joel Ben Izzy's little trio of tales called "Three Travel Tales." We'll chat about the stories with Kristina Jorgenson, a member of our BYU Radio family who has been all over the world.

From troll mediation to the people we encounter at Waffle House, today’s episode is one you will not want to miss.This episode includes“Under the bridge” by Anne Rutherford, “Wee Meg Barnileg” by Liz Weir, “People I meet at Waffle House” by Tim Lowry, “Acres of Diamonds” by Ed Stivender, and “Brink” by Jane Stenson.

Some things become more valuable than their pawn-shop-price, more meaningful than their function. It’s those items that we’re talking about today: the objects and heirlooms that we give meaning to. Sam starts us off with a radio family journal entry that features a memory of his grandfather, and an unusually meaningful walnut shell. Then, we’ll listen to “Daddy’s Ashes” by Geraldine Buckley, a story about saying goodbye to a father and finding meaning in a book of poetry he gifted her. And finally, we’ll join the Apple Seed team in a roundtable discussion about some of the objects that mean the most to them.
