Some of us here at the network are geeks for stationery (have you tried out The Pen Addict yet?). So, back-to-school season means we're shopping just as much as the back-to-school kidlets for supplies.
To usher in your long weekend, we've got a fresh batch of playlists for your listening pleasure, along with a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils. Cuz we love rom coms, too!
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.
