Celebrating 70 Video Podcasters across BC and Alberta!

We are excited to share with you news for the 2025 Season of the TELUS STORYHIVE Video Podcast program. 

70 shows pitched by new and emerging video podcasters across British Columbia and Alberta have been selected to produce their locally reflective video podcast series. These podcasts range from brand new stories to returning series in their second, third and even fourth seasons!

Each selected project will receive $12,000 in production funding as well as training, a community of support and distribution on TELUS Optik TV, Stream+ and STORYHIVE’s YouTube channel. 

Stay tuned for the premiere of these projects in 2026. 

Join us in congratulating all the selected project leads!
