The Apple Seed

If you missed this week’s airings of The Apple Seed, this is an excellent episode to listen to: it’s a summary of what we aired this week. We featured stories about science, scary stories for children, and shopping! Catch up with us on this week’s Saturday Round-up. Our science clip is all about the circle of life. Our scary stories for children clip includes a personal anecdote about how a storyteller became a storyteller. Our shopping clip is about a magical piece of candy that was purchased by a very lucky child. This episode includes tellers such as Brian Fox Ellis, Adam Gidwidtz, and Bill Harley.

From grocery shopping to clothing shopping, shopping can be fun but can also get out of hand with family members. Today’s episode is all about listening to those crazy times and laughing about the silly occurrences that happen when we go out with our families.

Science rules the world. This episode contains scientific stories that are awe-inspiring, heart-tugging, and laugh-inducing. What can science teach you about yourself? Ted Fink, Brian Fox Ellis, Pete Griffin, and Mike Agranoff will tell you. Some of these tellers have been poets at five years old, songwriters, authors, speakers at the National Science Teachers Association Conference, and even a wildlife biologist for the US Forest Service. It just goes to show that science can be and is observed, studied, and understood by people of all walks of life.

It’s Saturday, which means that it’s time for another Saturday Round-up, a time to discuss all the great episodes we’ve had this week. This week has been a great one. On Tuesday, we heard some material gathered at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in September. On Wednesday, we aired an episode titled “Dead Men Do Tell Tales," a collection of heartwarming tales about the dead still speaking to the living. On Thursday, we shared an episode all about wolves and their role in folklore. Today we're excited to bring you the best of all three episodes.

Today, we'll start off with a discussion with experts Dr. Tony Brown, Dr Kayta Jordan, and Dr Luke Howard about Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, and wolfs in folklore. After that, stories from Adam Booth, Sean Buvala, Mark Binder, all make for an exciting episode you won't want to miss!
