**** BITES -- "Nutcracker" by Kevin Kling

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, listen to a story by Kevin Kling about participating in a production of "The Nutcracker," along with conversation about what it's like to be an extra in the movies!
