Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network: locally grown, community supported. This week we talked about The Shared Mic, a podcast by Age Friendly Edmonton in which "Edmontonians from different generations and backgrounds meet to discuss topics that matter to them." We also highlighted The Future Of, a podcast hosted by ATB's Chief Economist Todd Hirsch that "connects with special guests who offer unique and useful perspectives about the future."

Speaking Municipally is produced by Taproot Edmonton, a home for curiosity-driven stories about our city, cultivated by the community. In addition to this podcast, Taproot publishes the Council Roundup every week. Sign up to get it delivered by email for free.
