Remembrance is a complex thing: It can be collectively unifying and profoundly personal. Steeped in grief or elated by nostalgia. Some can remember every detail about their lives, while for others, memories become distorted by time.
Whatever your relationship to this oh-so-human act of thinking back, the theme got us reflecting on how podcasting has changed in its relatively short existence. Just seven years after Serial pushed the form to the forefront, Adnan Syed has gone free, the pandemic production bubble has swelled and fizzled, and listening trends continue to ride wave after COVID wave.
Dizzy with all this evolution, it's comforting to recall our early days of blanket fort sound booths and DIY editing. Of relentless enthusiasm for stories and long conversations. Listening trips down memory lane abound. As ever, APN's crew has your weekend playlist at the ready, too. Settle in, reflect, and enjoy.
The “subscribe” button on the Listen Notes playlist below will let you grab APN’s most recent episodes for your podcatcher.
