Data Malarkey podcast

Data Malarkey is the podcast about using data, smarter.

Every fortnight during our six-to-eight-episode seasons, Insight Agents’ Founder and Chief Data Storyteller, Sam Knowles, talks to leaders and leading thinkers from around the world who make smarter use of data, from many – any – different disciplines.

There’s so much malarkey spoken about data today that it’s often impossible to see the forest from the trees. Data Malarkey introduces listeners to data-savvy psychologists, marketers, and researchers; insight-rich political pundits, scientists, and designers; and, data-demystifying experts in CSI, space junk, and the law. And the remarkable thing is, although they come from very different worlds, they’ve got much more that links them together than keeps them apart.
