Using our words — The latest on APN - March 26-April 1

As a community of podcasters, we're big into throwing words around. Sometimes those words can be silly, sometimes they can be brave, and sometimes they can also be wrong, misinterpreted, or not-so-smart. But, save for dropping a mic on our co-host's foot, there's no physical clout involved — truly, if someone gets offensive, we don't pull punches. We prefer to talk it out.

Without getting into the smack heard 'round the world this week, we're preferentially tuning out the noise and turning up the earbuds with this shiny new playlist of fresh episodes from the calm, cool, and collected team at APN.

The “subscribe” button on the Listen Notes playlist below will let you grab APN’s most recent episodes for your podcatcher.
