So delighted at the reaction to this episode! I suspected it was special, but until it is out there, you just don't know how it will land.
Unlike an apple, which is pretty famous for landing very reliably.

"There is something fleshy about apples. Beneath the desirable skin is something pure and sweet and life-giving. But Magritte said: Everything hides another thing. An apple's pips contain amygdalin, a compound that degrades into cyanide. Life involves risk. Flesh can be dangerous."

"Apples are health, vitality, fertility, life. So, when offered, the gift of life. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. The most innocent of bribes for a teacher. But if apples are life, then the negative space their absence creates is the opposite. Apples are also a typical gift to Santa Muerte."

This promises to be excellent.
And BTW, next time some wag says "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", remind them that when Eris rolled an apple in front of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, it led to bickering which ultimately kicked off the Trojan War slaughter-fest.

It's a double whammy this morning!
It is lovely revisiting these Season 1 episodes to re-record and re-edit them. Much has been trimmed and much restored from the cutting room floor.
The end result, I think, is even better. What do you think?
