Bring on the spice — The week on APN — June 19-25

If the forecast is to be believed, Alberta is in for a week of unprecedented highs in the coming days. And there's no better way to cool down than helping cue the body's natural A/C. Try a pepper-laden soup or adding a dash of cayenne to your coffee; a little capsaicin could do you good, whether it's to beat the heat or help sweat out the nasty symptoms arising from your second dose of that sweet, sweet COVID-19 vaccine. 

We'll be chillin' in our sub-temp basements, ready with a batch of new summer listens just for you and your weekend's exploits. 

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.
