Yep, I’m launching a data science podcast.

This is my nights and weekends side project labor of love. You might be wondering… why?

Basically, “I’m lucky.” I’ve befriended hundreds of amazing data scientists in the past 18 months — I want you to have access to these amazing people too.

Pssst… read my post on #gratitude to the data community

What’s In a Name?

Did you listen to the episode above? Take a pause (3 minutes and and 48 seconds to be exact) and listen to Episode 0

Right, I need your help in naming this podcast.

  3. Voices of AI
  4. Data and AI Peeps
  5. Data Dialogue
  6. Real Data Talk
  7. The Dopest Data

  9. Big Fat Data Dump (BFDD)
  10. Big Fat Data Heads (BFDH)
  11. Big Fat Data Brains (BFDB)
  12. Department of Homeland Big Data Heads (DHBDH)
