October 27-30 is the annual Ojai Storytellers Festival, one of the premier events on the storytelling circuit. This year they've added what Kara called "a mini-Shakespeare Festival" with Deb Newbold's acclaimed "King Lear, Retold," the music group Merry Wives of Windsor, the Sheriffs of Schroedingham and the return of Ojai's own Madrigali Singers. Sheila Arnold will be the master of ceremonies, and Kevin Kling, Izzy Tooinsky, Josh Goforth, Mara Menzies and Adam Booth. Katz, who has been a storyteller for decades, talks about the ancient art and craft, the camaraderie on the circuit and how important stories are as the connective tissue of our culture. We also talked about the National Storytellers Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee which both Michael and Kara said was/is a life-changing event, the process of creating stories, the back-and-forth with the audience, different approaches to reaching the audience and the importance of connection. We did not talk about the lattice theory of quarks, the bronzes of Benin or the great lost libraries of Alexandria and Constantinopole.

We discuss a number of things, including: the speeches' anti-creational move from order to chaos, the connection between creation and God's covenant name, the whirlwind-like “logophany” of God's words, the nature of God's rebuke, its use of rhetorical questions, God's care for and pride in the animals that appear, Behemoth and Leviathan, and Job's response.Enter the Giveaway to Win a Free BookThis post contains affiliate linksThis week we are giving away a copy of a Bill Brown's book on wisdom (thanks to Eerdmans):Wisdom's Wonder: Character, Creation, and Crisis in the Bible's Wisdom Literature.

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. Today we're going to take you on a very special fishing trip, so grab your pole, your tackle box, and a can of worms. Of course, what's a fishing trip without some good stories to tell to pass the time? And what's a good fishing story without a little exaggeration? Well, we've gathered some of the biggest fishing stories around for today's episode and your enjoyment from tellers like Bil Lepp, Dan Kelin, Kevin Kling, and more.

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. We all know that “accidents happen”. It's a time-old adage passed from generation to generation to try to help people through tough situations. Often, when accidents happen, there's no one to really blame for the consequences, but consequences there are. Whether someone is trying to get past an old fear, go through rehab or physical therapy, or face some other hardship, there's always more strength in one person's courage and determination than there is in any problem. Through these difficult experiences, people are often able to find hope and faith beyond what they might have had without the experience. Accidents do happen, and though that's a hard truth, often it's less about the accident and more about how you get through it and learn from it. On today's episode enjoy the following: Radio Family Journal: “Sailing” by Sam Payne (1:00) The Daily Mix: “Shadowlands” with Rod Gustafson (7:46) “The Bicycle Story” by Donna Ingham from Waiting for Roy & Other Family Tales (18:10) “Chris' Accident” by Sheila Starks Phillips from Family, Friends, and Other Fun Folks (32:00) "Accident" by Kevin Kling from Wonderlure!

Kevin Kling is an author and storyteller extraordinaire who is best known for his popular commentaries on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and storytelling stage shows such as "Tales from the Charred Underbelly of the Yule Log." Kevin has been awarded numerous arts grants and fellowships from The National Endowment for the Arts, The McKnight Foundation, The Minnesota State Arts Board, and many more. In addition to traveling around the globe telling stories and teaching residencies, he has released a number of compact disc collections of his stories and published five books, including On Stage with Kevin Kling.

We are digging into the archives to celebrate some of the conversations listeners have loved the most and that have shaped this project. Kevin Kling is part funny guy, part poet and playwright, part wise man — homegrown Minnesota meets Dante and Shakespeare. He was also born with one disabled arm, and a midlife motorcycle accident paralyzed the other. Then again, being so-called able-bodied, Kevin points out, is always only a temporary condition. We take in his wisdom on the losses we're born with and the losses we grow into — and on why we turn these things into stories.Kevin Kling is a performer and writer with Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts. He is the author of many plays, including 21A and Lloyd's Prayer and five books, including The Dog Says How and Holiday Inn. Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.This show originally aired in March, 2012.

Some days are more difficult than others. You might lose your keys, get gum on your shoe, miss the bus, or get a parking ticket. When frustrating, annoying or difficult things happen, we can choose to be upset, or we can let it roll off our shoulder, face the day ahead and choose to say “It's all good.” On today's episode of the Apple Seed you'll get to hear a story about that very principle. It's a story by Andy Offutt Irwin about a boy who faces trouble, but chooses to fix the problem and say “It's all good.” We've got lots of other great stories for you today as well, like “Tia Astucia,” the story of a shrewd and clever woman by Milbre Burch. You'll also hear “A Refuge from Suburbia” by Susan Strauss, a story from her childhood about her first bee sting. Finally you'll hear Kevin Kling tell the story of his Dad's first trip overseas in “Dad's Trip to Europe.” You won't want to miss a word! On today's episode, enjoy the following: “It's All Good” by Andy Offutt Irwin from Book Every Saturday for a Funeral (2:34) Radio Family Journal: "Swamp Men" by Sam Payne (17:15) The Daily Mix: "Biscuits and Gravy" with Kim Weitkamp (22:42) “Tia Astucia” by Milbre Burch from Because I Said So – Stories About Mothers and Kids (30:37) “A Refuge from Suburbia” by Susan Strauss from Birds of Fortune: Blessing Stories from the Book of Nature (44:03) “Dad's Trip to Europe” by Kevin Kling from A Fool's Paradise (52:39)

What if you could travel to a faraway place, populated by far-out people. What if this place had singing, stories, mischief and mystery?  You can, and it's called “Zoomtopia” — a virtual performance by St. Paul's Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, a community of artists with disabilities. Interact, like most arts centers moved into the Zoom world, offered classes, meet-ups and other ways for its member artists to collaborate and create. “Zoomtopia” speaks to the pandemic life of artists with disabilities and to overcoming the isolation each of us felt in our own way. Beloved Minnesota playwright and storyteller Kevin Kling is the guide through Zoomtopia, and he joins Host Angela Davis to discuss the effects of quarantine on artists with disabilities. And we want to hear from you, too. Are you an artist who has been in isolation during the pandemic? How have you stayed connected with other artists? Have you been making it work? Tell us about it. And if you're an Interact artist — or live or work with an Interact artist — we want to hear about your current work. Call us at 651-227-6000 or tweet @AngelaDavisMPR. Guest: Kevin Kling, a Minneapolis-based playwright,storyteller and beloved commentator for MPR News and NPR.

It's time for a special episode of The Apple Seed, filled with stories for you and your family, celebrating the passing from one year to the next. And what a year this has been. We're looking forward to the hour with you. We'll think together about the unpredictable nature of a year's journey as we enjoy a story from Kevin Kling about riding the rails is search of great seafood. We'll acknowledge the difficulties of the year in a snatch of a story as old as 1889, written by Jerome K. Jerome. We'll think about the setting of goals and the making of resolutions as we hear the story of Kyle McDonald about his audacious adventure in trying to trade a single red paperclip for a house in Canada. We'll talk about the New Year's tune Auld Lang Syne, written by Bobby Burns and sung each year all over the English-speaking world to send the expiring year into the past. And we'll even have a little party with Bear and his animal friends in a story from Bill Harley. On today's episode, enjoy the following:"Train" by Kevin Kling (8:31)"Goodly Knights" by Jerome K. Jerome, performed by Sam Payne (2:48)"Red Paperclip" a conversation with Kyle MacDonald (13:22)"Come on Out and Play" by Bill Harley, performed live in The Apple Seed studio (12:08)"Auld Lang Syne" by Stewart Foster (3:33)

Merry Christmas, from The Apple Seed! Gifts are a hallmark of Christmas. They might come in wrapping paper or bags, or in the form of quality time or service. Today on The Apple Seed we're sharing with you the gift of story – memories from our BYU Radio hosts and team members that package the meaning of Christmas. You'll hear from Apple Seed producer, Jeff Simpson, along with Assistant Producers, Ysa Ng, Stewart Foster, Alyssa Mingorance, Ashley Zollinger, Karani Namunyu, and Jen Baker. You'll also hear from BYU Sports Nation Co-Host, Spencer Linton, as well as Kevin Kling, Andy Offutt Irwin, and Renee Englot! We hope you enjoy this package of Christmas gifts, special for you, from The Apple Seed.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Christmas Miracle” by Jeff Simpson (3:11)"Christmas Trees" by Robert Frost, read by Spencer Linton (3:58)“Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant” by Ysa Ng (1:28)“Christmas Science Experiment” by Stewart Foster (3:43)"Christmas Family Traditions" by Ashley Zollinger (1:06)"Nutcracker" by Kevin Kling from A Fool's Paradise (5:14)"Mrs. Lyda's House" by Andy Offutt Irwin from Assorted Marguerite (8:56)“Christmas in East Africa” by Karani Namunyu (2:04)“A Christmas Concert” by Jen Baker (2:06)“Madelon's Gift” by Renee Englot from Once Upon a Bethlehem Night (11:38)“A Christmas Hug” by Alyssa Mingorance (2:39) 

Happy Thanksgiving from The Apple Seed! Wherever you're gathering this year we hope you'll take an opportunity to not only give thanks for the blessings in your life, but that you'll also share memories with or about the people that you love. And we'll provide the stories to help spark those memories. So put together a plate of turkey, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie, and an etrog, and get ready for stories from Bruce Walker, Bill Harley, Linda Goodman, Kevin Kling, and Martha Hamilton.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:"Pie Made of Pumpkin" by Bruce Walker from Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts (3:57) If you're looking to bake your favorite pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving but can't track down the recipe card, here's what you do: just memorize this song from Bruce Walker which is basically step-by-step directions on how to make this festive dessert.  "Yeast Rolls" by Bill Harley from Nothing For Granted (9:27)We're going to move from that food song to a food story from Apple Seed-favorite, Bill Harley. Have you ever been guilty of eating too much of a beloved side dish? How about the entire side dish? No judgment here, especially if it's something as good as yeast rolls.  "I Need An Etrog" by Linda Goodman from Pass It On: A Journey Through the Jewish Holidays in Story and Song (8:31)If you were to ask someone 'What does Thanksgiving mean to you?', they might mention something about the food. But really at the heart of this holiday is gathering, being together with people you love. That will certainly ring true with this next story. And although it's not about Thanksgiving (it takes place during the Jewish holiday of Sukkoth) the elements are the same. Sometimes we focus too much on securing particular food items for our feast that we lose sight of what's really important.  "Harvest" by Kevin Kling from Wonderlure! (6:20)What starts out as a humurous story about young Kevin Kling's reluctance to slaughter pigs that he's named turns into a rather sweet memory of Kevin's grandmother.  "Why Anansi Has a Small Waist" by Martha Hamilton (with Mitch Weiss) from Stories in My Pocket Tales Kids Can Tell (3:15)Ever wonder why spiders have small waists? You're going to find out in this story about Anansi, the 'Trickster', who, when she doesn't receive an invitation to either of the local village's harvest festivals, devises a plan to find out when and where they will occur, that also includes attending both. 

As holiday shopping ramps up we speak with the Denver/Boulder Buy Nothing group about their mission and perspective on consumerism. Then, essayist Kevin Kling brings us […]
