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.

Whether it’s a story that brings us back to our childhood, one that explains why something happens, or one that just has to make us laugh, it’s easy to lose ourselves in the worlds that stories create. They can be familiar or bizarre, comforting or a bit unnerving. Whatever they are, here at The Apple Seed, we believe they should bring us closer to our loved ones, either through the shared experience of a tale, or through the memories they spark. On today’s episode you can expect to get some questions answered in ways you may not have expected, hear some funny memories of a highly motivated child attempting to avoid his vegetables, and more.
