I absolutely love the show missing it dreadfully! And now you are back and I am really happy! I always worry you won’t continue. Stories that are so well told by many incredible story tellers are vital to my wellbeing as an elder!

San, I’m really enjoying seeing your story teller's Face photo. As with Audio stories remain in our visual brain. Seeing their Faces/body photos connects it for me. Your talent of connection Sam, is one of your many fine gifts that you share and we as your podcast listeners joyfully receive. BIG FAN KHF-Albuquerque, NM

The apple seed is amazing. I love listening to it. It even taught me how to whistle.

I love this show. I am so thankful I found it. It delights my spirit and inspires my imagination. When I feel I need a joyful lift in my day I listen to an episode and am always better for hearing it. Delighted With Stories, Sheila G. Faire Missouri, ISA

The Apple Seed is my family’s favorite podcast hands down. We just found it a few months ago and we have thoroughly enjoyed every episode. Our favorites are Antonio Sacre and Donald Davis. Thanks so much for introducing us to new storytellers.

This is the best of podcast ever I gave up all my other podcasts to listen to this every day I wish everyone knew about it. It’s definitely a I want more and a must listen!

Sam you have a STELLAR show that’s why I was quite surprised when during Ernie’s death and Big Birds beautiful sensitive age appropriate discussion when you mentioned “a baby” was born. What an insult that must have been to Buffy St Marie longtime cast member whose son Cody was that baby! You made NO mention of her as an indigenous cast member who went on to break another award winning segment of her Breast feeding Cody on Sesame Street and Big Birds conversations with Buffy about why she was breast feeding Cody. Sam I will call out BYU programming in complement as well as this insensitivity. Fan KHF-Albuquerque, NM

All the words in the title of this review describes The Apple Seed! It’s that amazing, it’s amazing that I could listen and know it will be funny but clean.

I found this podcast a few weeks ago. The stories never fail to make me laugh. I share them with my grown children and with my grandchildren. They beg to hear them over and over again. Wonderful work!

I live this program. I’ve been following this program for a few years now and live the stories they tell. I especially enjoy how they make me think of events in my own life. Thank you.

I started listening to the Apple Seed several years ago on BYU radio while I commuted home from work and have been an avid follower ever since. I enjoy the variety of storytellers. Thank you.

You guys are great. The best. Best podcast ever! Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would give you more than five if I could. Antonio sacre is the best. Thanks, uh, Sam pain? I don’t no how to spell it. And thanks Antonio sacre. I think that’s how you spell it. I remember how it’s spelled. Payne. Not pain. Please, please put this in your episode. And Sam, the way you talk about family and peace and memory’s makes me so happy. Keep going! And thank you for welcoming me to The Apple Seed. -Joseph

The Apple seed is a podcast brought to us by Sam Payne. The Apple seed is wholesome, fun, often silly, deeply educational, all in one simple podcast. Sam Payne was a teacher of mine, back in the day and to learn from him again is a boon I can not pass up. To hear his original music again, a true talent of his, is just plain delightful. His interpretations of the stories shared, and those of his staff, bring the morals of the stories to a real life level. A level at which I can easily relate to and then apply those morals in my life. These stories and story tellers are the backbone of our human history around the world. The stories hit square in the entertainment zone but leave you with a knowledge you didn’t even know you had learned. The Story Tellers are incredibly talented and entertaining. Each episode is an anticipated, delicious, sneakily healthy, treat

Great work. Thank you

this is a very interesting channel.

The Apple Seed is such a great podcast that our whole family loves! Storytelling great tales from all walks of life and always great family entertainment. Would highly recommend this show to anyone who likes a good story.

The Apple Seed is a dream of a storytelling podcast, a real pleasure. It’s warm, thoughtful, funny, diverse, intelligent, and oh, so entertaining. Sam Payne is an engaging host and performer, and the show is well-produced. I never get tired of listening, and I appreciate how The Apple Seed stirs up my own memories and stories, and motivates me to share those with the people I love. This is a great choice for adults and children alike, and a sweet family listen. Thanks for enriching my life!

I like it? 👎🏻👍🏻👍🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I love the stories on this show! They’re always so fun and easy to follow and are a great way to ensure that I have a great day!

I think this podcast is awesome for all ages. Love the storytellers, and love hearing stories from so many different cultures.

This is my favorite podcast ever and almost the only one that I listen to. The best thing ever.

We etet be there at all this time lol I think

I listen to a lot of fairy tale apps and most of them are great. The problem is, the old stories are so insensitive to certain things like race, class, gender, that they are not appropriate for the molding of young minds. This app is a lot more appropriate for kids of all ages as well as adults. If there is a discrepancy, a discussion is held to clarify when the stories were created and why certain aspects must be seen as historic. As far as THE HEABER CREEPER? There is one main reason why I knew immediately it wasn’t a true story. I am fine with several people in my life time who have had accidents in their pants. There is no way you wouldn’t notice this as it is very very smelly!!! And honestly, when someone has diarrhoea is usually a medical issue going on and smells even worse! I was the price no one else thought of this… I absolutely love this podcast! Thank you for all your great efforts to entertain and enlighten.

This is an amazing podcast. It is so entertaining and fun to listen to.

These stories keep everyone entertained and happy in the car, from the toddler, the kids, teens, mom, dad and grandparents. The music is so fun, the voices, the clever new stories and old classics. Loved by my Montessori preschool kids too for story time.

Sam is a performer himself, and you can tell by the way he hosts the show. He is a great host. The engineering of the show is also done really well, I love all the music throughout the episode. It is a very family friendly program. It’s nice to have hours worth of pure story, without any ads throughout, too.
