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.

Welcome to The Apple and the Tree with host, Richard Coles. In Episode Five of this new series, we're in Milton Keynes to meet Hannah and her dad, Brett.
In this charged and emotional episode, Hannah and Brett share a very real conversation about their respective health challenges and the impacts they have on their families. Hannah, who has albinism, talks about the support she received from her parents during her unexpected pregnancies and managing life as a mum of two who is registered blind. Brett, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at just 37, discusses his daily struggles, the importance of a positive outlook, and how humour helps him cope.
Their conversation really highlights the strength of their father / daughter bond, the significance of open communication, and the ways these two support each other in so many different ways. As ever with The Apple and the Tree, nothing is off limits.
