In Episode 2 of the Data Voyagers Podcast, Navigating the Stories Behind the Numbers, hosts Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas explore of the most fundamental questions in the world of analytics: What is data? This episode explores how raw facts become information, how information evolves into knowledge, and how context changes everything. Join us on a storytelling journey through the history of data—from cave paintings and Mesopotamian clay tablets to punch cards, spreadsheets, and the explosion of Big Data and AI. We also challenge our own assumptions in the fun interactive segment "Is It Data or Not?" In this episode’s "Data Story" segment, we discuss a fascinating paper that uses Game Theory to evaluate the outcomes of global-scale challenges like nuclear waste management, diplomacy, and environmental crises. Whether you’re a data newbie or a seasoned analyst, this episode offers insights, laughs, and fresh perspectives on the invisible force shaping our world.
