The Apple Seed is a wonderful podcast of stories of all kinds told ny profesdional storytellers. It is family-friendly. It is one of my very favorite sources of entertainment.
Truly a tasty apple 🍎🍎😃
Even tho I’m not Christian (ABSULTLY NO OFFENSE TOWARDS CHRISTIANS YALLS I DONT HATE YALLS AT ALLLL) I love this podcast
Sometimes I listen to podcasts to learn new things or improve my expertise. Other times, I want familiarity and comfort. This podcasts brings a sense mutual understanding of the genuine human experience, while playfully expanding my perspectives of others, culture, and perhaps the meaning of it all. Digestible, poignant, and much needed for the brain that is spinning too many plates. Thank you.
Very much enjoyed!
