Podcast

The “Llamazing Data” podcast first aired on the June 4th, 2020. Brief episodes in edutainment style are aired every fortnight and are aimed at bringing knowledge about how professionals from various fields are facing similar data-based problems.

Every second Thursday a new story is presented, and the guests of the show are sharing their stories and experience in making data-driven decisions. A traditional 1-minute-long-quiz is always there closer to the end of the episode – to challenge our speakers in their expertise. No hard feelings 🙂
