Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we highlighted The Well Endowed Podcast produced by the Edmonton Community Foundation. The podcast tells stories about donors, and what inspires their generosity. We also talked about the recent APN get-together, in which Troy met Emily from Emily Missed Out for the third time. In each episode, Emily and Breanne watch "class pop-culture-filled movie gems that up until now, Emily has never seen." It's a lot of fun! Also, be sure to fill out the APN Listener Survey.
