About the Show
Radical ideas about data, from the people testing them in the open.
Data Radicals goes inside the work of the leaders reshaping how organizations use data — the CDOs, founders, and practitioners turning data culture from a slogan into a system that holds up.
Each episode, we sit down with someone building the future of data and AI, and asks the only question that matters: how did you actually get it right?
The best data leaders don't wait for permission. They prove it works — then everyone else follows.
