A podcast on data and how it affects our lives — with Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner
Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner discuss the latest developments in data analytics, visualization and related topics.In our first Data Stories hangout, ten people joined and more followed the stream off-line. We really enjoyed the hangout; it was a fantastic experiment full of interesting questions and comments. Among others, we had Kim Rees from Periscopic, Benjamin Wiederkehr from Interactive Things, Santiago Ortiz, Stephen Boyd, Miska Knapek, Wes Grubbs from Pitch Interactive, Karen Doore from UT Dallas, Yuri Engelhardt and Jim Vallandingham on the show. Quite a mixture! We hope you enjoy the conversation!

Enrico managed to grab a couple of buddies at VisWeek and record a low-fi episode with some on-the-spot comments. Andrew Vande Moere (infosthetics.com) and Jerome Cukier joined in to have some fun and indulge in some gossiping.

Hi, we have Alberto Cairo on the show for Episode #12! If you don't know who Alberto is, well... it's your fault! Check his web site first. He has a fantastic book out on Infographics and Visualization called "The Functional Art," which can directly go in your shelf between the Tuftes and the Fews. We talk about the book and many many other things. Alberto is so talkative and deep that we could have recorded for another three or four hours. Lots, lots of fun! We loved it.

In this episode we talk about emoto, the project on visualizing the sentiment of the Olympic Games in London 2012. Since Moritz was one of the principal designers and developers behind the project, we thought: "hey, why not?!" And we have a special guest! Stephan Thiel from Studio NAND joined us to share his own view and experience with the project. Make sure to give a look to the emoto web site and the accompanying blog before listening to the podcast if you can, this will help you following our discussion... just in case you are not familiar with the project yet...just in case.

In this episode we have the honor of talking with "data illustrator" Stefanie Posavec. Stefanie makes fascinating hand-crafted visualizations like Literary Organism and (En)tangled Word Bank. Most of her work is done by hand, like the highlighted text of Jack Kerouac's On The Road. Her work is so intriguing that we wanted to know more about her process.

In this episode we talk about bridging academia and industry. We've touched upon this issue many times in the past that we decided to record a whole a special issue about it. To help us, we invited Danyel Fisher, a renowned Information Visualization researcher from Microsoft Research. This year Danyel is chairing the newly established Industry Track at VisWeek 2012, the leading conference in visualization, and his job is to attract more people from industry to this traditionally fairly academic conference. We discuss existing practices, gaps, and ways to bridge them.

We are raising the bar here! In this new episode we have Jeff Heer, Assistant Professor at Stanford and creator of 4 (!) data visualization toolkits/languages (Prefuse, Flare, Protovis, D3). Jeff is a very well regarded researcher in the area of visualization, user interfaces and human-computer interaction. If you don't know him yet we strongly encourage you to give a look at his projects web page. You'll find lots of cool stuff there like his studies on Graphical Perception and Wrangler, a data pre-processing tool. We talk about the past, present and future of visualization; everything dressed with LOLs, a bit of gossip and...one scoop at the end of the podcast!
