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.

In Tunbridge Wells in Kent we meet Jamie and his mum Jacqui. Jamie is an online fitness instructor and global body-building competitor who wanted to talk to Jacqui about his decision to revert to Islam and marry a muslim woman.
From a young age Jamie had obsessive tendencies, he hated school, became a heavy drinker and even spent time in prison in Thailand.
Jacqui wanted to know if he recalled his youthful mania for magic tricks, how terrified she was when she discovered his body-building drugs and how welcome she was made to feel by Jamie’s wife’s family.
