Innovation Nation Podcast

Innovation Nation is a podcast about systems-change and innovation in the public sector and is available to listen to on Spotify and Anchor FM.

Over six episodes, host Shane Te Pou unpacks some of the wicked economic, social and environmental problems facing our nation. You’ll also hear from some of our nation’s leading systems-thinkers and social innovators who are imagining compelling alternatives to the status quo with the aim of creating an ‘economy of mana.’

These kōrero are insightful, complex, and revealing – but for some, they are deeply uncomfortable. If you’re feeling disenfranchised, disempowered or overwhelmed by the social and economic problems we are facing today, we invite you to come meet some people that might change your mind.

Innovation Nation is brought to you by the Community and Social Innovation Unit nestled inside Auckland Council. A place-based initiative, they seek to find radical solutions to some of the most pressing social and economic challenges facing Māori and Pasifika communities in south and west Auckland.
