Let’s Find Out is a monthly podcast about local history. It’s recorded in Edmonton, Alberta – aka Amiskwaciwâskahikan – on Treaty Six territory.

We take questions from curious Edmontonians about local history, and find out the answers together. We’re currently in the midst of a season about parks and natural areas in Edmonton.
