Created by participants in Met Radio’s Audio Documentary Incubator workshop series, these evocative audio documentaries will take you on a journey from a tattoo shop in the prairies to Sankofa Square in downtown Toronto. You’ll get an intimate look into choir practices and house parties across the city, and find yourself amongst the crowds at football watch parties and queer country shows. From bird watching in High Park to the streets of little Jamaica, stopping at rec league basketball games and tenants rallies in between, each piece delivers a sound-rich snapshot of the people and places that make this city (and beyond) special, in twenty minutes or less. 

Produced at Met Radio 1280 AM in downtown Toronto.
This program was funded by the Community Radio Fund of Canada’s Radiometres grant. ]]>enDocumentaryCopyright Met Radiohttps://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/1fd827cc840dc96b7b5bd75e2e57a835.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/met-radio-doc-shop--6908254Tue, 04 Aug 2026 14:24:19 +0000Met RadioMet Radiofeeds@spreaker.comA podcast series showcasing the work of first-time audio documentary makers!  Created by participants in Met Radio’s Audio Documentary Incubator workshop series, these evocative audio documentaries will take you on a journey from a tattoo shop in the...
