Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we talked about A Tale of Two Weeklies, a new podcast series "that digs into the rise and fall of Edmonton’s SEE Magazine and Vue Weekly, two alt-weeklies engaged in a newspaper war that neither survived." We also highlighted The Well Endowed Podcast, a production of the Edmonton Community Foundation that explores "stories about donors, and what inspires their generosity."
