Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network: locally grown, community supported.

This week we highlighted Searching for Izena, "a special nine-part podcast series chronicling the wildly incomplete stories of female leadership at Edmonton City Hall over the last century." We also talked about The Well Endowed Podcast from the Edmonton Community Foundation. Episode 87 is the final installment in the Trailheads series which looks at the history of urban planning in Edmonton.

Speaking Municipally is produced by Taproot Edmonton, a source of curiosity-driven original stories, curated newsletters on various topics, and locally focused podcasts, all in the service of informing Edmontonians about what is going on in their community.
