Earbuds, an office mate's best friend - The Latest on APN - October 8-14

Water cooler talk of recessions, booster-shot scheduling, furnaces groaning to fire up after spending a summer asleep — all the noise out there can be particularly distracting, especially if you're trying to re-adjust to sharing office air with colleagues on the daily. 

In the pod universe, we know that earbuds can be your best ally in these situations, and we've turned our noise-cancelling functions all the way up while listening to the latest episodes on the APN airwaves. You can too, while you devise your pitch for asynchronous work to the office higher-ups.
