Downtown Open Mic
On two separate occasions, host Natalie sat at a downtown Calgary thrift store to talk to volunteers and shoppers with her microphone.
This podcast provides a glimpse into the lives of a diverse group of people sharing this tiny corner of the world for a brief moment in time. Enjoy!

Tenured Residents
Marvin, Nita, and Terry, three long-time residents of Thorncliffe, join LTC host Natalie to talk density, amenities, opportunities, and community evolution in the age of climate change.
Voices from the Northeast
