Customer Reviews
Something for Everyone
Whether your trying to break into data or you’ve already made it, there’s something for everyone in this podcast. I especially like the interviews with other leading data professionals.
No real insights, just bad audio
All episodes are recorded at annoyingly low volumes. There are no real insights for those trying to get into IT or data analytics. Episodes are boring.
Amazing data podcast for beginners and beyond
Love this podcast, has helped guide me on my journey to break into data, beginning topics to advanced and great interviews with industry leaders! Highly recommend
