Join John Ladley and Mark Cooper for the Rock Bottom Data Feed, an irreverent yet practical data-focused podcast that isn’t a pile of technobabble and repetition of old advice.
We recognize that the last thing the world needs is another podcast, but we aim to make this one different. We are going to take apart the data industry and have fun doing it. Our audience is EVERYBODY, because everybody is involved with data. At the end of each episode everyone technical and everyone non-technical will take away some nugget of information that will allow them to take (at least) one step forward.
Join us, because when you’re here, you’re at Rock Bottom.
Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and the Counter Threaded Productions website.
