Connected Data Podcast

Rav Ubhi-Adams and Alex Leigh 162 Episodes Aug 13, 2026

The Connected Data Podcast takes a wide-ranging, human look at the world of data, moving beyond governance to explore the entire ecosystem in which data is created, connected, bought, sold, secured, misused and misunderstood. Each episode shows how data shapes modern life, from media narratives to everyday organisational decisions, and offers a fresh, curious perspective on data’s real-world impact. Building on the foundations of Nicola Askham’s Data Governance Podcast, it broadens the conversation to include everything that makes data interesting and challenging.
