Podcasts about data stories

This week I'm sharing another podcast I've guested on recently: The Revenue Marketing Report, hosted by Camela Thompson of Caliber Mind.Camela is a veteran marketing and analytics leader, and we have an in-depth conversation about the business and cultural dimensions of reporting: what KPIs are you reporting to different audiences, data rituals, analytics storytelling, and more. This is a super important topic for me, because how you create and share data stories in your organization can be the difference between building an executive-level presence for yourself or getting pigeon-holed as a service provider. We'll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week, until then, enjoy the rest of your August. ------Justin Norris, host of the RevOps FM Podcast and Sr. Director of BDR and Marketing Operations at 360Learning, joins our host, Camela Thompson, Go-To-Market Thought Leader and B2B Insights Expert, in this episode of the Revenue Marketing Report. Justin shares his insights and how years of experience sitting at the executive table representing marketing changed his views about which numbers matter most and why. They also geeked out over why MQLs are evil, how to build a ritual around data, and why B2B ops and marketing should focus more on learning from one another.For more great content like this, check out https://calibermind.com/

You know Enrico Bertini, right? Writer, teacher, co-host of the Data Stories podcast, Enrico does it all. Now at Northeastern University, I invited Enrico to the show to talk about his research, great Substack newsletter, and for views on the evolving landscape of data visualization on social media. In our discussion, Enrico emphasized the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration at Northeastern University. He has some concerns about the current state of visualization theory and tools and talks about his ideas around “critical data thinking” as a crucial way of thinking about data visualization, highlighting the challenges of data accuracy and interpretation. We also talk about Enrico's teaching methods to help students improve their data interpretation and data visualization skills. Enrico and I share some of the same feelings about the shifts in social media use in the dataviz community, and how it has led to a loss in diverse intellectual exchanges, underscoring the importance of finding new ways to foster community engagement and creativity, including through writing platforms like Substack and LinkedIn.Topics Discussed The Current State of Visualization Theories and Tools: Enrico critiques the prevalent theories and tools in data visualization, calling for a more systematic and thoughtful approach to both creating and interpreting visual data. Challenges of Presenting Accurate Data: Our conversation delves into the difficulties faced in presenting precise and accurate data, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these challenges have impacted the field. Impact of Social Media Platform Shifts: A significant focus of our conversation is on the changing landscape of social media platforms, particularly the decline of Twitter as a crucial space for professional exchanges within the data visualization community. Reflections Prompted by the Pandemic: Enrico reflects on the pandemic's role in helping him reevaluate his work and teaching practices, which is a helpful insight into how his creativity has changed and adapted over the last few years. The Role of Newsletters in Idea Refinement and Audience Connection: Enrico shares insights into how newsletters have become a pivotal tool for refining ideas and connecting with a diverse audience, including students from various disciplines, fostering a richer, more engaged community. Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Innovation: Highlighting the value of interdisciplinary collaboration, especially at Northeastern, this week's episode showcases how interactions between computer science engineering students and design peers, as well as varied problem-solving approaches from faculty members, can lead to fresh insights and propel the field forward.➡️ Check out more links, notes, transcript, and more at the PolicyViz website.Sponsor: Whisper TranscribeWhisper Transcribe is an absolute game changer in the world of transcription and AI-generated content creation!

Dennis Consorte talks with Jason Barnard about how to leverage press to build authority on Google. Dennis Consorte helps startups and small businesses because he believes that successful entrepreneurs give people hope, and that is more important today than ever. Dennis Consorte does this primarily through digital marketing and building teams and systems that enable incremental and sustainable growth in traffic, conversion and customer retention. He has over twenty years of digital marketing experience and sold his first ecommerce business in 2004. Today, he works as a digital marketing and operations consultant helping online businesses increase traffic, conversions and customer retention. His approach to digital marketing is unique in that he sees every touchpoint along the customer journey as an opportunity to build the kind of relationship one would expect only from face-to-face communication. Team building and storytelling are core to his methodology. Experts cannot claim to be experts just because they say they are. Experts need to prove their worth and let others speak on their behalf. In Google's case, you need third-party sources to help Google clearly understand who you are, what you do, and how much of an expert you really are. One way to do this is through the press. Press matters online and offline, and the incredibly brilliant Dennis Consorte reveals how to use your influence to get into third-party publications in this wonderful episode. He gives great tips on how to top the list of emails journalists receive per day and pique their interest with your story ideas and unique content. It's also important to provide journalists with data and direct them to your website where they can access information. Dennis also discusses how to get quoted in articles, build a foundation and work your way up to major publications.  As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Dennis passes the virtual baton to next week's awesome guest, Burkay Alpyildiz.

Our Sponsor:  https://www.prideandlessprejudice.org/events   Our Guest: Gabrielle Merite Gabrielle Merite. Proper noun. Scientist-Turned-Designer powered by plants and activism. She is not: a graphic designer with 30+ years experience or qualified in fine arts. She is: a Science graduate, creative, analyst, advocate for humanity, cat lady and feeling awkward writing this at the third person. I specialize in provocative imagery that ignites imagination, inspires and sometimes shocks. Deeply passionate about social justice and our responsibility as humans to be there for one another, I choose to communicates analytic findings with honesty, rawness and compassion. My mission is simple. To help ethically-driven organisations uncover important truths and share stories with intention. In my work, the faces behind behind the figures matter. In places where numbers are usually found, I use faces. Because subjects aren't dots. Quite often, they're people. Like you (and me).

Shownotes Guest: Allen Hillary Allen is a data storyteller who's passionate about building community and curating articles that highlight the importance of data narratives. He has spent 20 years in Fortune 500 companies using data analysis and analytics to help sales and marketing leaders make informed decisions. What he's learned is that numbers alone are not memorable and managers are not making decisions solely based on them. Empathy and communication are key in getting the work done. Allen created Data Heroes to spotlight notable figures who used data to make an impact on society. In reading these stories it's his goal to inspire others to appreciate the art of telling their own. https://twitter.com/AlDatavizguy http://www.datastories.cc/ Data Stories is planning to launch Community Training Boot camps for educators later this fall. The boot camps will be a weekend session where educators can bring storytelling into their classroom and have a new way of showing my students how to look at the world that is inclusive, empathetic, and utilizes technology and data. More details to come but we're definitely looking for those interested for our first cohort.

Today's episode is brought to you by Tableau, an industry leader committed to enabling 10 million people with data skills over the next five years.   As part of our Tableau series on the importance of data skills in education, and more specifically for BIPOC students, your host Ralph Newell sits down with Vanessa G. Leon from the University of Texas El Paso's College of Business Administration and Allen Hillery, vice president of communities and impact at Data Stories.   Hear from Leon, who is responsible for overseeing the partnerships and programming for three of the college's corporate academies and is kicking off their data skills journey. Hillery empowers people and communities around the world to eliminate misinformation and create positive change using words, data, and visualizations.   Don't miss this informative discussion on the necessity of data literacy, why students of color got left behind in data science, and the immediate need to bring data skills into education.   KEY POINTS: - What is data and how is it used by companies and organizations? - Why is data science so important for BIPOC students? - How to bring data literacy into K-12 education and communities - Supporting BIPOC students in fields where there is little to no representation  - The importance of business intelligence and communication skills - Tableau's initiatives to help their students “catch up” in data science    QUOTABLES: “It's also educating the students because half of the challenge is seeing yourself. A lot of times you don't see yourself, so you don't understand what you could be there.” “What's been opening doors for us in a lot of fields are alumni. There's always that one student that did not think that they could get a job at Microsoft, right, but they land that job. And now they become an advocate.”   GUEST RESOURCES: Tableau: Business Intelligence and Analytics Software Data Stories: Home | DataStories a Partners in Performance Company   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Watch this video and others on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/user/Diversediversedivers Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: diverseeducation.com Or follow us on social media: Twitter: twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation Facebook: facebook.com/DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation/ Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education Transcription services are available upon request.

And, he dives into his data visualizations for train traffic on a German railroad network, the promises and pitfalls of using machine learning for data design, and what it took to visualize 175 years of text from Scientific American. Moritz hosts the popular podcast, Data Stories. #TheDataWranglers

When the FTC alleged that period tracking app maker Flo Health shared people's private health information with Facebook and Google without permission, its settlement with the company required some changes in how it gathers and uses people's data. But some believed it was just another example of a feeble approach to enforcing the agency's authority. The settlement soon led to a controversial enforcement policy update that could affect countless health and fitness app makers. And that was just one sign that the FTC is getting tougher on tech firms. It's already forced two companies to destroy their algorithms.

Once upon a time, there was an analyst. And that analyst had some data. She used that data to do some analysis, and from that analysis she realized she had some recommendations she could make to her organization. This was the point where our intrepid analyst reached a metaphorical fork in Communication Road: would she hastily put all of her thoughts together quickly in a slide deck with charts and graphs and bullets, or would she pause, step back, and craft a true data story? Well, if she listened to this episode of the podcast with presentation legend Nancy Duarte, author of five award-winning books (the most recent one — DataStory: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story — being the main focus of this episode) she would do the latter, and her story would have a happy ending indeed!

Yes, he makes amazing dashboards. Yes, he knows every marketing KPI. Yes, those are baseline expectations from any analytical solutions provider today. But Alex Cruz does the hard part too: He and his team at PenPath, a marketing intelligence company make sure your CEO is happy. Because spending money on data is easy. Making money on data? That's the key. Cruz recently talked with Chris Tauber of Data for Execs magazine on how he tackles that. Today so many businesses are overwhelmed with data. How do you tackle that with PenPath?The business side of me has always been drawn to the most important question: What does it all mean? The creative side of me always focuses on the story of the data, not just the metrics and charts. There's an intersection between data and creative and the story that data can tell to persuade and inform.I started a marketing agency when I was younger, and I quickly saw how you could optimize performance with data. I became very passionate about it. As marketing tools have evolved and the amount of data became tremendous, I created PenPath, a marketing intelligence company, to help businesses get the most value from their data. We bring it all together to show the story, including eCommerce dashboardsSupport the show (https://www.google.com/maps?cid=9522497556608756916)

Storytelling allows businesses to better understand insight. Data visualization is a great tool to help share, or tell a story, but relies on the story being written first. Improved data communication comes from combining good visualization with a well-written narrative. There's a lot to learn to be a good data storyteller. Today, I'm talking with Kat about: - What do you understand by storytelling with data? - Why is it important? - Which role should statisticians play? - What skills do statisticians need for this? - Where to learn these skills?

Data Stories celebrates its 100th episode! We review some of the most successful episodes, talk about the major categories of episodes, and recollect some funny moments from recording the show. We also have a surprise segment where we reveal the "behind the scenes" of Data Stories.

Data is increasingly driving the world we operate in and the way we are using data to drive it is changing rapidly. Business decisions are no longer made just by Fred with his humongous spreadsheets, or Mary and her accounts package wizardry. Data analytics is now something that we see every day, even if we don't realise it, from the intelligence in our smartphones, to high performance computing crunching masses of numbers, the use of analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning is becoming increasingly commonplace. On this weeks show I'm joined by Microsoft Tech Evangelist Amy Nicholson, as we discuss the continued development of the data analytics market and how companies like Microsoft are making data tools more accessible and how platform as a service offerings allow us to focus on getting value from our data without having to worry about the infrastructure behind it, regardless of how complex it may be. We also look at how the analytics conversation has moved away from one about technologies and is now focussed on how we solve complex business problems. We look at the importance of design in our analytics solutions about how we both input data and present the results. We also look at the importance of building a story from our data and how that story can lead to successful actions. And of course, we have the story of the connected cow! Don't miss it.

Hey folks, It's time for another project-centric episode, and we finally talk about one of our favorite projects of the year — "Dear Data" by the most fabulous tag team of data illustrators around: Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec. Their year-long project is about how "two women who switched continents get to know each other through the data they draw and send across the pond" and consists of 104 hand–drawn postcards all of which document one week of their lives. How much they cursed, laughed, read, smiled at strangers, … — all of this is documented in inventive, charming and very analogue ways. Learn all about the project — how they started it, what they learned, and how it will live on — in the episode. Links mentioned: Yay for slow data!

Hi Folks, great news ... we are experimenting with a new format for Data Stories that includes ... that includes ... that includes ... guess whaaaaaat? Video! After having heard many many times that it's hard to imagine how a visualization looks like when we are talking about it, we have decided to experiment with a new format. This is for now just a pilot to see how you guys react, so we would love to hear your feedback about how you like it and how we can improve. To be clear: we are not planning to substitute our regular podcast with this, we are trying to build a parallel channel. In this pilot episode the great Gregor Aisch from the New York Times agreed to describe in detail how the amazing 3D Yield Curve Chart has been realized. As many of you may know, 3D visualization has not a very good reputation among data visualization experts, yet Gregor and Amanda managed to create a super interesting and useful 3D chart. Gregor shows us where the idea originated from, all the crazy details about how to create a 3D chart that people can actually read, and how to calculate optimal views and a good narrative out of it. Enjoy the new TV show! We are looking forward to hearing from you. P.S. A big big thank you to Gregor for accepting to shoot this video with these two totally unexperienced video editors! :) Thanks Gregor, that was awesome!

Hey yo, we have Jen Christiansen from Scientific American with us in DS#52. Jen is art director of information graphics at Scientific American magazine where she is been for about then years and she has a background in natural science illustration from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Science communication is one of our favorite topics and we are so happy to have such an amazing expert like Jen on the show. Jen reveals the nitty gritty of scientific visualization and illustration as experienced by one of the top scientific communication magazines in the world. "How does a scientific piece come to life? Where does an idea for a new piece come from? How do they interact with the scientists to make sure everything they report is accurate and yet accessible for a broad audience? And what does need to be done before an illustration gets ready for print?" We discuss this and many other questions with Jen. Enjoy the show! This episode of Data Stories is sponsored by Tableau.

So, if you have some experience with audio editing podcasts, and could also imagine to help us with collection the links and titling the chapters etc, this would be great. We can offer a small compensation, too. And, of course, you're among the very first people worldwide to listen to the new Data Stories recordings :) Next week, we will record a 2014 review with a few of the usual suspects. What moved you this year? Leave us a comment or tweet us!

Hey yo ... super cool guest today on Data Stories. We have data artist Jer Thorp for a whole episode on Data Art and Visualization. We managed to catch him before he leaves for a deep dive in a submarine next week. Jer is former artist in residence at New York Times R&D Labs and now he is the co-founder of the Office For Creative Research, a studio/lab that mixes science and art. Among many other things he is the creator of the algorithm and software tool "to aid in the placement of the nearly 3,000 names on the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan" and Cascade, a tool to visualize "the sharing activity of New York Times content over social networks." In this episode we talk about his past and new projects, teaching art and vis and the many intersections between art and science. Links - The IEEE VIS'14 Art Program (that's going to be in Paris) - NYU ITP Data Art Course - Cascade (vis of NYT sharing activity) - Shakespeare Machine (earstudio | video on vimeo) - Jer's HBR article on "Visualization as Process, Not Output" - Collection of vis development process images from OCR - Example of Data Performance: Thousands of Exhausted Things (OCResearch and The Elevator Repair Service) - Hans Rosling's TED Talk "The Best Stats You've Ever Seen" - Eyeo Festival

One year has passed! It looks crazy that we have been doing this thing for a whole year: 18 whole episodes. Thanks a lot everyone for your encouragements and numerous comments and suggestions. And big thanks to all the people who participated! In this episode we review the whole set of posts and comment on them trying to see how they look like from a distance now that some time has passed.

We've got Robert Kosara on Data Stories for this episode. Robert is the editor of eagereyes.org, one of the most respected and well-known data visualization blogs on the Internet. He is known for his controversial and informative posts and his "academic" style. But Robert, as he says in the show, wears many hats. He was a Professor of Computer Science at UNC Charlotte until recently, when he surprisingly moved to Tableau after being tenured. In the show we talk about his career choice and many other things: vis research, blogging, Tableau, etc.

In our first Data Stories hangout, ten people joined and more followed the stream off-line. We really enjoyed the hangout; it was a fantastic experiment full of interesting questions and comments. Among others, we had Kim Rees from Periscopic, Benjamin Wiederkehr from Interactive Things, Santiago Ortiz, Stephen Boyd, Miska Knapek, Wes Grubbs from Pitch Interactive, Karen Doore from UT Dallas, Yuri Engelhardt and Jim Vallandingham on the show. Quite a mixture! We hope you enjoy the conversation!
