A 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 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.

    When Birds Go Quiet
    May 26 2026
    In a city overrun by noise pollution, it can be hard to hear birdsong, a staple of the natural world. By joining a birding walk tour organizer at High Park and speaking with a bird behaviour expert, host Matthew Halupka searches for a way to reconnect with birdsong, a melody urbanization has made us forget.

    May 26 2026
    It feels like you can't turn on a sports channel today without hearing about the WNBA, but it wasn't always like this. In Beyond the Court, host Israa Barzak explores the popularity of women's basketball in the wake of a historic year. With the help of guests Sophie and Meg, members of Sqwish a local queer drop-in basketball club, Israa explores why the fans have stayed loyal for so long.
