Description

We're getting a jump on April Fool's Day with an hour of stories about pranks, hoaxes, and general mischief.
(4:11) West Virginia storyteller Bil Lepp and his buddy Skeeter have a mischievous plan to rig a competition at a summer camp in "Vacation Bible School," recorded live in the Apple Seed Studio.
(26:23) Host Sam Payne talks about a high school prank on a double date that didn't go off as planned in today's entry in the Radio Family Journal.
(29:16) Mark Twain wrote a humorous short story about The Cardiff Giant, an infamous real-live hoax from the 1860s involving P.T. Barnum. We dramatized Twain's story and performed it live in the Apple Seed Studio.
(46:00) Snipe hunts are a rite of passage for young campers everywhere, and we asked some friends to share their wildest snipe hunt tales with us.
