May 13, 2021
Six teams of podcast creators have been chosen to participate in a pilot accelerator program run by PBS KIDS, PRX and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). They’ll each produce a pilot episode for their concept that may end up on PBS KIDS’ digital channels or get picked up for a full series order.
Among the six projects is
Abi And Radish, a space adventure about a young blind girl who finds new ways to work and play with the help of a shapeshifting translation device. The team behind the concept is led by Grant Holub-Moorman, Mecail Martin and Janet Perez.
