A big thanks to Katie and Ben for this wonderful podcast. I am in the process of redirecting my career towards the job of data scientist, and I was looking for podcasts to complement my more formal learning. I tried ALL the podcasts and Linear Digressions is my favorite. It is telling a lot, in a simple way, and in a short time (big achievement!). I like both the "technical" topics (let's take a model and explain how it works/ why it is used) episodes, and the episodes starting from a specific problem (how to fight cancer) with brainstorming about how a data scientist would approach the question, what are the challenges, what are the goals, what are the possible strategies, what are the possible models. Congrats! Maybe Ben's jokes in introduction are not always funny :) but that's ok, I usually say non-funny jokes so I can relate...
