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

This week we highlighted Alberta Blue Cross which can help employees manage their own health, dental, life and disability coverage online — any time, on any device. We also talked about The Future Of, a podcast from ATB that promises to give you insights to help navigate what is often an uncertain future. Hosted by ATB's chief economist Todd Hirsch, the podcast explores how our economy and communities can not only brace for change, but embrace the opportunity it creates.

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.
