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.
