Hello out there? On a mission for new listens — The week on APN — Feb. 13–19

Perhaps it's that we've all been cloistered lately, but news of NASA's successful landing of its Mars rover gave humanity a little something to celebrate this week. Its mission? To search for signs of life on the red planet. Its name? Perseverance. 

As we work through the troubles plaguing our own sphere, the thought that we might not be alone in the universe feels kinda nice. As ever, the crew at APN are here with new listens to accompany you through all of life's voyages, intergalactic and otherwise.
