Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we highlighted The Well Endowed Podcast, a production of the Edmonton Community Foundation. The podcast explores the impact of passionate people who are working to make Edmonton a strong, vibrant city to live in. 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. This episode was recorded in Unit B's studio!
