In a far-reaching and very personal conversation they talk about pregnancy and nearly losing your baby, what school is like when your mum is known as “poo lady”, the nature of illness and loss, Mother/Daughter relationships and so much more. There is nothing off limits.

The Apple & The Tree

The Apple and The Tree is a podcast where a parent and their adult child get to ask each other about the parts of their shared history they’ve always wanted to know more about, but never given themselves the time to do so. These are deep, intimate and revealing conversations that move through love, grief, shame, sexuality, religion, addiction, identity and so much more.
‌
Because these shows were recorded in our guest’s own homes, it’s like you’ve been invited in to sit alongside them and hear exactly how their lives have unfurled. At the end of each episode, Richard Coles and the guests unpack what’s been shared to discover if the apple really does fall far from the tree.
