Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we highlighted Overdue Finds, a podcast produced by the Edmonton Public Library. Check out Episode 29 which looks at libraries in pop culture, including the best fantasy libraries and the stereotypes vs. realities of working in the library. We also talked about Unit B Coworking, a multi-company coworking space focused on helping people pursue their passions and making Edmonton its creative best. It's located in the historic McKenney Building on 104 Street, close to everything downtown.

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.
