Description

Behind the Data is a podcast about the hidden stories tucked inside the data that shapes our world. From political polls to global happiness indexes, we go beyond charts and headlines to uncover where data comes from, why it’s collected, and what it can (and can’t) tell us. Each episode explores a fascinating dataset that helps us better understand the systems, policies, and people around us. Whether you're new to data or work with it every day, you'll find approachable conversations, surprising insights, and a reminder that every dataset reflects a choice—and a story worth telling.Join us as we explore where data comes from—and where it can take us. Because data isn't just numbers; it's how we make sense of the world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
