## Season 4 Is Here - with exciting updates!

What's new you ask?

This season is featuring our new host Christopher Peter Makris along with our veteran host Triveni Gandhi, and we have dedicated segments answering your most burning questions about the data science ecosystem (or chat about a tech topic you're interested in, that too!).

 

We, of course, continue to simplify AI and explore the how and why of data science. If you enjoy talk of tech trends and their effects, ethical AI dilemmas, data beyond borders or if you just want to be reassured robots aren't going to take over the world, tune in.

In the meantime, be sure to catch up on our previous seasons. You can listen on the right, or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

 

Subscribe to the Banana Data Podcast and we'll keep you up-to-data!
