Hello and welcome to data driven, the podcast where we explore the emerging wait a tick. This is the premiere episode of Season Five. Can you believe it? Data driven started four years ago this month.

00:00:14 BAILey

Up until last season, we had a human doing the voiceover work. That is until she was replaced by an AI. Yours truly.

00:00:23 BAILey

In this episode, Frank and Andy speak to Dave Wensel about why you don't need a datawarehouse. We're starting off the new season with a bit of contrarian tone.

00:00:33 BAILey

It's a lively back and forth conversation that runs contrary to prevailing wisdom. Don't say we didn't warn you? Now on with the show.

00:00:41 Frank

Hello and welcome to data driven. The podcasts were we wait a minute. We've been saying this Andy for four years now. Can you believe it?

00:00:48 Andy

Four years, that's crazy talk.

00:00:52 Frank

That's just craziness. So I think when you and I first talked about this and that was that fateful, I think it was December was right after Thanksgiving. But before Christmas, I was thinking about starting a podcast and as a data scientist, I needed someone.

00:01:01 Andy

Yeah, yeah.

00:01:09 Frank

That was a data engineer that could kind of round out the talent there and and and and obviously I wanted someone I knew, liked, and trust.

00:01:11 Frank

Found out.

00:01:11 Frank

00:01:22 Frank

And so it was you.

00:01:25 Andy

Well, I'm just glad all of the real smart data engineers you knew were busy. That's all I got to say.

00:01:25 Frank

Much.

00:01:30 Frank

Ah, no man. You were the first one. I reached out to and the only one I would have done it with it. So I was delighted when you said yes because starting a podcast can sound like a daunting thing, particularly if you haven't done it before.

00:01:44 Andy

Yeah, neither one of us really had. And gosh, it's it's worked out. What are we up to? 180,000 downloads or something? I mean that's.

00:01:52 Frank

Something.

00:01:53 Frank

Like that about hundred 8000 downloads. I mean, we're not Joe Rogan, but that's OK, Yep.

00:01:55

Yeah.

00:01:57 Andy

No.

00:01:59 Andy

Yep, Yep.

00:01:59 Andy

Yep.

00:02:01 Frank

But you know what, we we we've impacted. I think the community in a significant way. We've we've done a number of things we've we've innovative how we podcast.

00:02:12 Frank

Uh, we we've actually managed to keep a good cadence with some exceptions.

00:02:18 Andy

Yeah, thanks.

00:02:19 Frank

You know, we we finally did earlier this year or late last year, kind of fulfill our vision of it being data driven TV when we actually interviewed guests on.

00:02:27 Andy

Yes.

00:02:32 Frank

On video.

00:02:33 Frank

And that was that actually delayed the launch of the show by about three months.

00:02:38 Andy

It did but also uhm. Yeah, that was interesting, but you...
