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. Today, enjoy two tiny stories from Joel Ben Izzy: "Be Polite," and "The Pickpocket." We'll listen to the stories with professore, writer, and mother of 12 Marianna Richardson. You'll love both the stories and the conversation!
