  • Chicken soup for the IO’s soul

    As an IO psych guy (and a people analytics leader at my company), I have to say that I love this podcast. It’s interesting. It’s entertaining. Most importantly, it gives me perspective about how people analytics is being practiced in other organizations. Just what I need to make me think outside the box for my own company.

  • Entertaining and Informative

    I found the first episode to be both funny and informative… a mixture of crazy data study experiences from their past, useful comments about mathematical techniques and real-world vs. academic differences. I appreciate that the hosts are willing to be wrong and discuss/debate topics anyway. Looking forward to listening to additional episodes and laughing along with the hosts about what really happens in the data world.
