Through in-depth interviews with local changemakers, episodes go beyond the headlines to reveal the untapped potential for investors and entrepreneurs. "Michelle's thorough approach and deep understanding of economic development enables her to navigate the intricacies of the subject matter, the nuances of the communities we serve, and ensures she tells the story in a compelling and effective manner for the target audience." **Tyler Mattheis** Cape Breton Partnership EDCO Awards of Excellence Honourable Mention! ## Destination Northern Ontario ##### This regional tourism organization initially ordered a five episode first season to entice southern Ontarians to become owner-operators of cottage resorts in the north, and prevent private buyers from shrinking the region's accommodations inventory. Season 2 pivoted to a broader theme of business basics for tourism business operators. "Exceptional quality, commitment and excellence in delivering us a product that far exceeded my wildest expectations. For a newbie like me to the podcasting world, the whole process was so easy." **Gord Knowles** Destination Northern Ontario Video Podcast ## Hastings County Economic Development ##### I Left the City was a successful podcast that published over 40 episodes between 2017 and 2022, but when the host no longer had capacity to run it, the show was put on an indefinite hiatus. In 2025, Hastings County engaged Storied Places Media to revive the series with a new sound, a new host, and a new option to watch on YouTube or listen on podcast platforms.

The goal of the "Growing Strathroy-Caradoc" podcast is to engage locals, newcomers, and prospective investors and residents to raise awareness of the municipality's high quality of life and amenities. While the series organically reaches a broad audience, individual episodes are also strategically hand-delivered to key prospects. "Economic development is essential to Strathroy-Caradoc’s growth, and using podcasts to share our story is both unique and effective." **Mayor Colin Grantham** Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc Tourism Development ## Tourism Excellence North ##### For years, this division of Destination Northern Ontario had been wanting to create a podcast. The goal was to publish casual conversations as an accessible entry point for busy tourism businesses and organizations to discover TEN and their extensive catalogue of resources. They had a host, but struggled with the production side. Storied Places helped them produce 10 episodes at a professional level, and drive traffic to their website. "It was a daunting task for us and Storied Places Media made it stress free, fun, with a great outcome!" **Karen Peacock** Tourism Excellence North Sector Development ## Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing ##### This non-profit organization came to Storied Places Media with a dormant podcast that they wanted to revive as a key part of their content-driven communications strategy. We helped them re-launch with new brand assets, elevated audio production value, and a refined promotion strategy that included a suite of marketing materials including video clips and social media messages. Video Podcast ## York Link ##### York Link (part of York Region Economic Development), in partnership with the Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing, wanted to create a video podcast series to help Ontario manufacturers navigate the challenges and opportunities brought by Canada's changing relationship with the United States. The result was The Tariff Impact, which is hosted on York Link's YouTube channel.  # Partner Podcasts In-Kind Partner ## Global Bluenosers ##### Global Bluenosers is a membership-based organization that began as a podcast and has grown into a federal not-for-profit focused on building the world's largest professional community for people with a Nova Scotia connection. As the organization grew, the podcast remained a priority but host Sean Meister had trouble finding time to produce it. Storied Places stepped in to provide light production and consulting support. In-Kind Partner ## Hyper Local Economic Development ##### Hosted by Mason Ainsworth, Hyper Local's mission is to inspire economic development professionals by sharing stories, lessons learned, impactful projects, case studies of successful initiatives, and innovative ideas for thriving communities. To help Mason focus on content and grow the show, Storied Places provides light production and consulting support.
