Do you love local history? Can you understand spoken French? Then La place is the place to be.
This podcast, a production of the Société historique francophone de l'Alberta, explores the history of various places through an engaging and well-researched conversation among Josée Thibeault, Ronald Tremblay, and Denis Perreaux. Perreaux oversees the project, and it is beautifully produced by Isael Huard.
Season 1, which began in 2018, focused on various Edmonton neighbourhoods. Season 2 headed to southern Alberta, and Season 3 has come back to the Edmonton area, with deep and delightful dives into the pasts of such places as St. Albert, Beaumont, Morinville, and Lamoureux.
La place recently joined the Alberta Podcast Network, and it is the first podcast on the network in a language other than English. Vous pouvez même entendre des annonces pour Taproot en français lors de quelques épisodes!
