Sugar Maple

Osiris Media

Welcome to Sugar Maple, an eight-episode fiction podcast, with an original soundtrack. Starring Fred Savage. A Fender Telecaster, rebuilt using a scrap of mysterious wood—passes by amazing circumstances to eight different owners over the years and decades. Each owner discovers the guitar and writes a single song. Terrance, our narrator, is obsessed with finding this amazing guitar of legend, and wonders if maybe the guitar writes a song using each of them? What strange pattern do the songs form? What power do they hold? And what if Terrance can't find Sugar Maple in time?


Presented by Osiris Media.
