In this second bonus episode, featuring a conversation recorded in Ottawa in October at the Public Broadcasters International conference, we explore the Public Spaces Incubator.
The Incubator was originally founded as a partnership between four public broadcasters – CBC/Radio-Canada, RTBF, SRG SSR and ZDF – and one tech company, called New_Public. It released its first prototypes earlier this year, and has now welcomed ABC and ARD onboard as well.
How did the Incubator start? What problems is it trying to solve? And when co-productions of this nature are so hard to get off the ground, what's the secret behind the success of the Incubator?
Presenter: Harry Lock. Producer: Jamie Tahana. Guests: Catherine Tait, CBC/Radio-Canada & Eli Pariser, New_Public. Music: Lucas Thompson, Rachel Still & Tom Brazier.

Hi Harry, Ok You can see my reply below. It seems this platform strips out all the link, so I can point you at the thousands of ”civtech” prototypes. Hi Harry, Google Also, where I mention ’’,,, ”enlargening their (edu’s) European perspective”.. Google Its a bit ironic that its so hard for broadcasters to choose useful interactive tools. 😉 Cheers, Simon Fenton-Jones

Hi Harry, Your public broadcast companions may be interested in this list of a few thousand prototypes that have been built over the decades. I’ve noticed your clique had another conference not long ago, although I can’t find any recordings of it. I was particularly interested in what the ebu’s broadcasters might be doing about enlargening their European perspective ( to a global and interactive one) . Would you be kind enough to point me at them. Something like this would be grand. Cheers, Simon Fenton-Jones😱
