We're big film buffs here at APN. In fact, a bunch of APN-ers are heading to the podcast booth at CIFF Industry Week to record new episodes! We've got our vaccine proofs ready to display, too, so we can take in some of the fab movies that the festival has on offer this year.
With that increasing chill in the air, it's a nice time to snuggle up with popcorn and a good story. Whether your style is streaming from home or safely visiting a theatre, we've got an all-new set of playlists to provide plenty of commentary.
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.
