Candy Apples Podcast

Candy Apples is a video podcast about the stories we crave, and what happens when we finally take a bite.

Across books, TV, movies, music, video games, and art, we explore storytelling as a deeply human act: how stories shape our identities, reflect our inner lives, and help us make meaning in a messy world. Some stories look glossy and inviting. Others are difficult, sticky, or unexpectedly transformative. Many are all of the above.

Hosted by Maritza Grooms, Candy Apples centers curiosity over critique, emotional resonance over ratings, and personal connection over perfection. Through solo reflections and intimate conversations with guests, the podcast examines the media that stays with us, long after the screen goes dark or the last page is turned.

Because the stories we love say something about who we are.
And because meaning is rarely neat, but it’s always worth reaching for.
