50 | Happy Birthday Data Stories!

Author: Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner March 6, 2015 Duration: 0:00
Ah! We made it to 50 episodes and three years of this lovely podcast of ours. We have loved every bit of it, every guest, every single discussion and all the support we received from everyone. For this episode we asked repeatedly to submit a short audio snippet or text and we received a few amazing ones. We are very grateful to you all guys, this is amazing. In the episode we talk about a few statistics we extracted on episodes with highest number of listeners and blog posts with highest number of visits. We then read the text messages we received. And finally we have inserted the audio messages we received. THANKS A LOT! This is amazing. P.S. Special thanks to Erik Jacobson for his amazing collage! :) LINKS Most popular episodes (of about the last 12 months) Data Stories #39: DensityDesign w/ Paolo Ciuccarelli Data Stories #38: Visual Complexity w/ Manuel Lima Data Stories #40: Narrative Visualization Research w/ Jessica Hullman Data Stories #44: w/ Tamara Munzner Most popular pages: Data Stories #5 – How To Learn Data Visualization (with Andy Kirk) Data Stories #22: NYT Graphics and D3 with Mike Bostock and Shan Carter Data Stories #35: Visual Storytelling w/ Alberto Cairo and Robert Kosara Podcast recommendations: Talking Machines (on Machine Learning) Theory Of Everything Song Exploder Reply All    

Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner have a conversation you’re invited to join. Their Data Stories podcast sits at a fascinating crossroads, where the technical craft of data analytics meets the intuitive design of visual representation. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a cafe with two experts who are genuinely curious, unpacking not just the "how" but the "why" behind the ways we see and understand information. You’ll hear them explore the latest tools and research, but also grapple with the deeper questions of narrative, aesthetics, and human perception that give data its true meaning and impact. The discussions are grounded in their professional experiences, making complex ideas in technology and design feel accessible and immediately relevant. It’s a space for anyone who creates, studies, or simply wonders about the charts, maps, and diagrams that shape our world. By weaving together perspectives from arts, education, and visual practice, this podcast reveals how data, when thoughtfully handled, can tell stories that are as compelling as they are informative. Tune in for a consistently thoughtful look at the evolving language of numbers and shapes.
