Listen harder, spend smarter - The Latest on APN - Nov. 19-25

Right on cue, as our neighbours to the south celebrate their Thanksgiving weekend, the usual inundation of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and other super-sale-themed emails has already started to clog up our inbox. 

With current prices at grocery stores and gas pumps, we're probably not going to tempt ourselves this year, and stick to the far less expensive entertainment empire of podcasts. We may even feel good enough about ourselves by Giving Tuesday to make a charitable donation or bump up our Patreon subscriptions. Whatever situation your wallet is in these days, the team at APN has your back with this week's brand new episodes, absolutely free, and full of goodness. 

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