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

This week, with the help of the Edmonton Community Foundation, we gave a Pod Power shout out to Book Women, a podcast about editing, publishing, and writing Indigenous stories. We also talked about Alberta Blue Cross, which offers group benefit plans that enable employees to manage their own health, dental, life and disability coverage online.

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.
