My Podcast Playlist

Podcasts are for me a great source of information and knowledge. While I’m commuting, I’m either on the phone or listening to poscasts about various subjects. I just went through my podcast playlist summer cleanup and, as technology evolves quickly, many of them were abandoned and not updated for years.

Here is the list of what I kept, sorted by subjects:

In a world where Data is the new Oil, Data Science the new Refineries, consider this Car Talk for the Data Age. Every week we bring the best minds in this emerging field straight to you.
