From time to time, we'll post what we call a BITE ("like a normal episode, only shorter!"). We always hope that the stories you listen to on The Apple Seed will spark memories and thoughts that you can share with the ones you love -- perhaps even the people with whom you listen to the show. In a BITE, we'll listen to a single story -- one that we love -- and invite friends to share memories and thoughts that occur to them as they listen to it. On today's BITE, enjoy a story from Anne Rutherford, called "The Habit of Joy," about the unfolding of a mysterious phone relationship between a looking-for-herself protagonist and an unlikely lifecoach. Chatting in-studio with Sam about the story will be great storyteller Andy Offutt Irwin, a longtime friend of The Apple Seed, whose work is often featured on the show.
