Small Data Forum Podcast

How can we make Big Data less intimidating, more actionable, and so more valuable? That is the question at the heart of the Small Data Forum, a seriously light-hearted look at the uses of data – big and small – in politics, business, and public life. This podcast ended in February 2024 following the first episode in December 2023. From its start in June 2016, 120 episodes were published.
