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

This week we highlighted the AlbertaBETTER podcast from the Business Council of Alberta. The show is "on a journey to understand what it takes to create a good life here in Alberta and how we, as Albertans, businesses, and governments, can shape our society so everyone prospers." We also talked about the Alberta Association of Optometrists, which represents almost 800 Doctors of Optometry in over eighty communities across the province.

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.
