Using our words — The latest on APN - March 26-April 1

As a community of podcasters, we're big into throwing words around. Sometimes those words can be silly, sometimes they can be brave, and sometimes they can also be wrong, misinterpreted, or not-so-smart. But, save for dropping a mic on our co-host's foot, there's no physical clout involved — truly, if someone gets offensive, we don't pull punches. We prefer to talk it out.

Without getting into the smack heard 'round the world this week, we're preferentially tuning out the noise and turning up the earbuds with this shiny new playlist of fresh episodes from the calm, cool, and collected team at APN.

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

Clearing clutter, cleaning house — The Latest on APN — March 19-25

While the melt over the past week has revealed a winter's worth of mess in the yard, it's also been inspiring us to purge the household clutter that's built up over the years. That box of twist ties can definitely go. And do you really need three types of shampoo? Word is that a good scrub of your stuff can help clear an anxious mind, too. 

Our fave thing about spring cleaning, though, is that it's a perfect opportunity to catch up on our binge listening list. And the team at APN has got the playlist ready with this week's fresh episodes, too.
