Holiday special: why data storytelling matters

It’s a different kind of podcast this week: Simon and Alberto talk about Alberto’s latest book, ⁠The Art of Insight,⁠ why data journalism is still a dream job and our approaches to working with numbers to tell stories. Find out what books got us here – and what we care about most, when it comes to data storytelling.

The⁠ ⁠music this week⁠⁠, made with⁠ ⁠TwoTone⁠⁠, is based on snowfall in Central Park from 1869 from⁠ ⁠this dataset⁠⁠, via weather.gov.
