The Storytellers
Join me, Shazeera Zawawi as we embark on a fascinating journey with a diverse cast of storytellers ; from authors to social activists and documentary filmmakers to data artists. In each episode, we dive into their unique crafts, exploring their thoughts and approaches that make a compelling narrative, regardless of the medium.
How does a playwright build tension that we can apply to a dynamic dashboard? What can a photographer teach us about highlighting key insights in a complex dataset? How does a musician's use of rhythm inform the pacing of a data-driven presentation?
Through insightful interviews, practical takeaways, and a spirit of curious inquiry, The Storytellers aim to inspire and equip you to transform raw data into impactful, memorable, and human-centered stories. Whether you're a data professional looking to elevate your visualizations, a creative seeking new perspectives, or simply someone who appreciates a good story, this podcast is for you.

Episode 3: Laura Canali - The One Who Watched Oasis in Concert for 23 Times
In this episode, my dear friend, Laura Canali from Milan, Italy shared with us her obsession with Oasis as the band announced their comeback tour. Laura is a humanitarian aid worker, my former roommate when we studied at the University of York ,U.K and my fellow music comrade.
We chatted about her love for the band including seeing the band live for 23 times, her walk down the memory lane with Oasis and our admission of guilt for recording videos during a live gig. Our chat just reinforced the significance and power of memories for us, storytellers.
To commemorate Oasis reunion and Laura's memories of the 23 concerts, I created a viz inspired by the stories she shared in the podcast. Check the viz here:https://bit.ly/3D4322Q ( I think the viz can be printed as a tee, right Laura? )
Keep on rockin' my friend!
