With the arrival of Lunar New Year coming on Feb.1, we've been busy in the APN kitchen, pinching dumplings and defrosting duck for a proper feast. 2022 brings the Year of the Tiger, and in many Asian countries around the world, celebrations for the occasion can last up to two weeks, with abundant tables symbolizing prosperous times ahead. Obvs, we're taking the note. Who needs diet resolutions anyway? It's already February. Let 'em go.
Thinking of the tiger makes us feel feisty, ready for what's bound to be another interesting year for the planet. Armed with a full new playlist of APN episodes, we're rising up to the challenges of our rivals (mostly ourselves). Listen in and fight on, friends.
