info_outlineWhy the Inside P2 podcast
Welcome to Inside P2, the podcast for public participation practitioners hosted by me, Joseph Thornley. Each week I hope to talk to you about best practices, case studies, and research in effective public participation. Sometimes I'll be on my own. Sometimes, I'll have guest hosts. And sometimes, I'll post interviews. The format of the show will include both a discussion of a principal topic or interview along with one or more brief #IP2Noted items, quick hits on things P2 that I've noticed around the web. I'm also hoping to be joined from time to time by guest hosts who have a unique perspective on on P2. So, if you have some insight or experience that you'd like to share and are willing to illustrate it with case studies or original research, I'd love to feature you either as a guest host or as an interviewee. If you're interested, please email me at [email protected] or tweet to @insidep2podcast.#IP2Noted
Finally, this week's #IP2Noted segment covers:

Their insights, from the practical to the strategic, will help build a strong community of practice around public sector engagement.Australia has been a P2 hotspot. So, this site should be useful to anyone interested in P2.
