Embrace the dog days - The Latest on APN - Aug. 13-19

The sweltering dog days of summer are here, and we're fending off the heat with a nice cool kiddie pool for our heavily panting pups, who have been sidelined from lake-swimming by blue green algae. Ugh. 

As we look forward to the back-to-school season — it kinda feels more "new year" than New Year’s, doesn't it? — we're embracing these balmy nights with new episodes in our ears. Whether you're road-tripping or chilling in your backyard, APN's crew has this week's playlist ready for your listening pleasure.
