Quality time with the APN fam-jam — The week on APN — Feb. 12-18

Spending 24 months holed up with your family cohort can be a challenge, but we at APN like to think that "family" extends well beyond the walls of home. Whether it's a chosen circle of besties that gathers via Zoom, or an ad hoc group of collaborators, we're celebrating all forms of fam-jam this weekend. 

As ever, APN's got a full playlist of new episodes to accompany your quality time with loved ones. Plug in your podcatcher and enjoy the long weekend, folks!

The “subscribe” button on the Listen Notes playlist below will let you grab it for your podcatcher.
