Long weekend lounging - The Latest on APN - Aug. 27-Sep. 2

The Labour Day cusp is upon us, folks. It's the ledge of the year where we teeter between these last sultry days of summer and the crisp air of the school year. We're planning to fully enjoy the high temperatures this long weekend, sharpening our pencils and readying our recording devices for the regular programming season. 

With that, the APN crew has a playlist of fresh new episodes to usher in your back-to-school routine. Listen in, and let the good times roll. 

The “subscribe” button on the Listen Notes playlist below will let you grab APN’s most recent episodes for your podcatcher.
