Description:DataCamp's official podcast. Presented by Adel Nehme.

Data science and machine learning are making the impossible possible—whether it is awe-inspiring results from language models, or huge gains in computational biology. However, as data science is increasingly democratized, it’s also making the possible widespread and there is still so much to uncover. In this podcast by DataCamp, Adel Nehme will interview data leaders from industry and academia on the latest thinking on all things data. From how to lead data teams to the importance of improving data literacy, we’ll cover all the latest trends and insights on how to scale the impact of data science in organizations.

Data Stories
Data Stories

Description:A key component of a data analyst’s work is storytelling through visualization—presenting insights in the form of graphs and charts, for example. While many podcasts focus on topics such as machine learning and AI, Data Stories is unique in that it focuses on data visualization. That’s not to say that Data Stories doesn’t provide rich and varied insights; far from it! With the help of special guests, hosts Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner discuss how data affects our lives. Data Stories will take you on an exciting journey through many different aspects of data visualization, such as cognitive science, immersive analytics, and satellite imagery.

Women In Data Science
Women In Data Science

Description: Women are typically underrepresented in data science, so it’s especially important to amplify their voices, celebrate their contributions to the field, and highlight them as role models for future generations. Hosted by Professor Margaret Gerritsen of Stanford University, the Women in Data Science podcast sees leading women in data science share their work, advice, and lessons they’ve learned throughout their lives and careers. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in hearing about how data science is being applied to, and transforming, a wide range of domains—from healthcare and finance to cosmology, human rights, and more.

SuperDataScience

Description: Not so standard deviations is a podcast hosted by Hillary Parker and Roger Peng. The podcast mainly focuses on the new introductions in the data science and analytics industry. It is necessary to know about the recent developments if you wish to flourish in the industry.

Data Science At Home
Data Science At Home

Description: Francesco Gadaleta wants to make machine learning easy for everyone. In this podcast, he alternates between interview episodes with industry experts, and solo episodes where he discusses a topic on his own.

The show doesn’t seem to be on a fixed schedule, and the episode length varies as well, but in general the interview episodes run closer to an hour, while his solo episodes clock in at around twenty minutes.

The host is pretty opinionated, so it can be interesting to hear his perspective on topics like AI winter, optimization, and the minimum requirements you need to become a data scientist.
