Entertaining, insightful and actionable! 🔥

Whether you’re well established as an innovator in the data science community, or just getting started carving out your niche - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Roger and Hilary do an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of data analysis (and its impact on our lives!) - with leaders who are actually practitioners themselves. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

Conspiracist Hillary

Used to enjoy but hard to listen to now that Hilary has gone full conspiracy theorist online. She has been posting the most outlandish things on Twitter that makes it hard to take her seriously

Love it!

I like how I can be informed about happenings in data science and data analysis without having to sit down and read something. I like the non-data bits, too - maybe even more than the data parts. I want to be friends in real life with them!
