Whew, it's been a busy time at the APN office. Between a bunch of new episodes dropping in from the CIFF recording booth last week (see the handy playlist below) and YEGPodfest kicking off today, we haven't had a ton of time to think about the weather, or the trees, or whatever else is going on out there (we hear that there might be a public health emergency... or something... happening).
Either way, Podfest is all super-safely online — we're holing up in a skyscraper from Oct. 1 to 3 to broadcast great convos into the ether. In between all the onscreen delights, you can queue up the whole APN family to keep your ears fully occupied.
The “subscribe” button on any of the Listen Notes playlists will let you grab a playlist for your podcatcher. Sample the shows below, or check out the full week’s roundup on Spotify.
