Vermont Business Magazine Vermont PBS has announced the upcoming release of six new episodes of InnoVaTe, an original series profiling innovative Vermonters using technology to connect people, share ideas and solve problems. InnoVaTe is hosted by Victoria Taylor, known for her past work at reddit.com helping facilitate more than 2,000 "Ask Me Anything" interviews. Based in New York City but passionate about Vermont and the community here, Victoria’s commitment to sharing the stories of interesting individuals extends not only to InnoVaTe, but also to her work at WeWork as their director of digital community and beyond.
The new season will premiere in two half-hour segments, Tuesday, Nov. 15 and Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m EST. It will also have a simultaneous online launch and be available for viewing anytime at vermontpbs.org/innovate and on the official Vermont PBS YouTube channel.
This season, Victoria travels Vermont talking with a diverse array of innovators including John Churchman, whose social media success helped launch his best-selling children’s book about Sweet Pea, a lamb who lives on his Essex, Vermont farm. Also profiled is Vermod, the Vermont company that’s building a better mobile home, inspired by the after-effects of Tropical Storm Irene, which disproportionately affected those living in mobile homes.
“InnoVaTe is a celebration of Vermont’s creativity and interesting ideas,” said Vermont PBS president Holly Groschner. “The show lets us travel the state to see what some smart Vermonters are bringing to our community and the larger economy. Vermont PBS is happy to deliver this series to the web, and to give it its television debut.”
This season’s episodes include:
