Connected Data Podcast

Rav Ubhi-Adams and Alex Leigh

The Connected Data Podcast explores the fascinating, messy, powerful world of data — not just governance, but the full ecosystem of how data shapes modern life. Each episode dives into how data is created, connected, bought, sold, secured, misused, misunderstood, and woven into the stories we see in the media and the decisions organisations make every day. It’s a fresh, curious, human take on data in the real world, building on the strong foundations of Nicola Askham’s original Data Governance Podcast while expanding the lens to everything that makes data interesting.
