Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we've been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. Some of the world's best stories involve what can only live in our imagination. Why is it that we love exploring fake worlds with characters that we know aren't real? Well, for one thing, it allows us a brief escape from daily life. All of us need that every once in a while. We also love exploring new ideas, creatures, and places. But perhaps the most important reason fantasy appeals to us is because it gives an unbiased view of the human experience. Without the rules of the real world we can see what it means and how it feels to be human, regardless of where the experience takes place. Today's episode features a collection of tales all about the fantastic. From dragons, to fairies, to a magical horse and talking animals, we have an hour you're sure to love. On today's episode, enjoy the following: "Dragonory" by Jess Smith from Dragonory (2:30) "The Whispering Bridge of Fukushima" by Kevin Cordi from Wisdom Keepers: Unlocking the Puzzle, Wise Tales and Wise People (15:43) "Kevin and the Lady" by Rosie Cutrer from The Blackthorn Walking Stick and Other Tales (23:10) "The Puka and the Pennywhistle" by Brian "Fox" Ellis from Under an Irish Oak (34:04) "The Sleeping Porch" by Jane Stenson from From the Connecticut Woods (42:18)

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013, we've been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales, and more. All kinds of tales from all kinds of tellers. The trickster and the fool are two of the most opposite yet beloved character types in storytelling. What is it about these two characters that we love so much? Maybe it's the joy of watching a trickster's clever plot unfurl to catch a fool. Maybe it's just fun to laugh when a nonsensical fool believes wholeheartedly in the sneaky and careful words of their opponents. Whatever the case, our love for these characters will come in handy in today's episode as we follow the stories of both tricksters and fools. Get ready to laugh along with us at both the wittiest of trickster's plots and the most foolish of fool's follies. On today's episode, enjoy the following: “Brer Possum and the Frogs” by Sheila Starks Phillips from Tater and His Musical Adventure and Other Fun Tales (3:44) Radio Family Journal: "Dumb Teenagers" by Sam Payne (18:32) Daily Mix: “Earth Song” with Susan Reed (23:33) “The Wise King of Uruk and the Foolish King of Aratta” by Judith Heineman from The Magic Carpet: Stories and Songs from Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt (35:17) “Mysteries in Nursery Rhyme Land” by Kevin Cordi from Tales to Tickle Your Funny Bone (48:54)

Some of the world's best stories involve what can only live in our imagination. Why is it that we love exploring fake worlds with characters that we know aren't real? Well, for one thing, it allows us a brief escape from daily life. All of us need that every once in a while. We also love exploring new ideas, creatures, and places. But perhaps the most important reason fantasy appeals to us is because it gives an unbiased view of the human experience. Without rules of the real world we can see what it means and how it feels to be human regardless of where the experience takes place. Today's episode features a collection of tales all about the fantastic. From dragons, to fairies, to a magical horse and talking animals, we have stories from Jess Smith, Kevin Cordi, Brian "Fox" Ellis and more. On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Dragonory” by Jess Smith from Dragonory (10:37)Who is the best storyteller? We all have our favorites, but have you ever considered that the best storytellers aren't actually human? Jess Smith, a storyteller from Scotland happens to know such a thing. A dragon. History is full of them, and they're often terrifying. But, according to Jess, they're also great with a story. And while most of them are gone from the world, there is still at least one around. “The Whispering Bridge of Fukushima” by Kevin Cordi from Wisdom Keepers: Unlocking the Puzzle, Wise Tales and Wise People (6:37)What's a story without a moral? Well, one could argue that stories without morals are important, that they teach us that things aren't always black and white. However, stories with a moral are also important. They teach us how to be good, that there are consequences for our actions. A lot of fantasy stories have a strong moral, including this one, about a girl who fell in love with a man who turned into a tree. Her father was not pleased, and determined that the only solution was to cut down the tree. However, forcing someone to do what you think is best for them doesn't always work out how you might think. “Kevin and the Lady” by Rosie Cutrer from The Blackthorn Walking Stick and Other Tales (9:45)Rosie Cutrer has been described as a “tour de force in storytelling”. She has been performing professionally for fifteen years. In this tale, she describes the life of a young man by the name of Kevin. While stuck in a job that he hates, trying to support his family on a meager wage, he still has the heart to be kind. His kindness, however, gets him fired. Depressed, he makes a deal with death in order to keep his family fed. When all seems lost, it is his original kindness that makes all the difference. “The Puka and the Pennywhistle” by Brian "Fox" Ellis from Under an Irish Oak (7:11)Which is more important? Money or ability? One could argue either way, and there are strong cases for both. Money can make more money. Ability can end up making money too. But one thing remains clear, you can't get anywhere with either without action. However, sometimes, a little bit of help is needed to take that first step. Brian Ellis tells of a boy who plays the pennywhistle. He's quite bad at the beginning, and it isn't until he stumbles upon a magical gathering during the longest night of the year that he is able to take his pennywhistle to a new level. “The Sleeping Porch” by Jane Stenson from from The Connecticut Woods (13:18)Have you ever had an experience where you couldn't figure out whether or not you were dreaming? When you wake up the next morning you have to think about it for a while because it felt real. Maybe you find out it was a dream, but maybe you find out it wasn't. The next story takes place in that in between state. Not quite a dream, not quite real. But maybe it was real. The story comes from Jane Stenson, who grew up in Connecticut.

Confucious once said, “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Is this true? How, then, do we better notice beauty around us? Perhaps we might find beauty in a person, a place, or even a story, like here on The Apple Seed! Today's collection of stories explores the definition of beauty. Storytellers John McCutcheon, Kevin Cordi, Fran Stallings, Margaret MacDonald, Holly Robinson and Ed Stivender share the lovely, the good, and the uplifting in their stories from around the world.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Streets of Sarajevo” by John McCutcheon from Untold/Unsung (4:41) A song honoring a cellist who dutifully played every day outside of a bakery where 22 people lost their lives in Sarajevo.  “Listen to the Strings” by Kevin Cordi from Wisdom Keepers: Wise Tales and Wise People (8:28)An aspiring young guitarist who worries his songs have lost their beauty, but a suggestion from a mentor proves him otherwise. “Too Much Help” by Fran Stallings from Stories and Songs for a Green Earth (8:52)When a village fails to care for the town they've created, magical wooden figures are built to put the place in order. According to the legend, these figures become what we know as monkeys! “Kanji-Jo, the Nestlings” by Margaret MacDonald from Tuck-Me-In Tales (15:23)When a family of baby birds hatch, they can't seem to find their mother! Questing to find her, they use the only identifier they know of to seek her out: her songs. “The Most Beautiful Thing” by Holly Robinson from Folk Tales Utah Storytelling Guild Story Collection: Volume 2 (4:38)In our next story, the mighty Lion holds a competition for the other animals to bring him “the most beautiful thing.” A mother monkey can't help but bring the most beautiful thing to her: her new baby. “The Gospel of Beauty” by Ed Stivender from And Once Again... (1:44)Here's a poetic piece from Ed Stivender expressing his ideals for what makes the world beautiful to him.  Radio Family Journal: "Eye of the Beholder" (6:05)In an episode filled with stories exploring the beauty around us, Sam takes a moment to reflect upon his first ideas about what was beautiful in the world, and how they tie in to his hometown.
