Apples are falling, the market bounty is fruitful, and we're doing our best to avoid stewing on the political pedantry on TV. Instead, we're bingeing on bake-off shows and getting set to make a nice, therapeutic pie.
Poet Jane Kenyon said that to build a pie is like "a bulwark against autumn entropy," and so APN's pastry chefs have whipped up a fresh batch of playlists to help knead out the shoulder knots from that first week back at the office.
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.
