what is story?
The year is winding down! While you were attending that holiday party or baking one more batch of gingerbread cookies, here at the Knaflic household, we've been recording another podcast. In this final 2017 episode, I discuss my perspective on what is story? and why those working with data should care. I also tackle listener Q&A on data visualization vs. storytelling, NFL football stats, and how to tell when a visualization is complete.
Listening time: 36:51. Links mentioned during the show:
Books: Larry Gets Lost, The Cat in the Hat, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Video: the future of storytelling
Other perspectives on story: Jon Schwabish, Robert Kosara
Video: example telling a story with data in a live setting & standalone (starting at 17:30)

Next up for me: an early morning flight to the chilly midwest for a couple weeks off with family (hoping for a white Christmas!). Happy holidays!
