Explore Explain

Auteur(s): Andy Kirk
  • Résumé

  • Explore Explain is a long-form podcast and video series hosted by Andy Kirk and launched early 2020. It goes deep behind the scenes of data visualisation projects.

    Each episode is structured around a conversation with visualisation designers, developers, or data journalists to explore the design story behind a single visualisation or a related major project. Guests explain the thought-process behind and share insights about the myriad little decisions that underpin the finished works they produce.

    Audiences will gain an appreciation of the what, the why and the how, learning about the hidden problems and challenges, the breakthroughs and the eureka moments. You'll learn about the things that were done and the things that were not done, the pressures and frustrations as well as successes and failures.

    Each season comprises nine episodes and always seeks to include guests representing a diverse cast of talented practitioners from across the field and around the world, showcasing a wide variety of different types of visualisation work.

    Every episode is published as both an audio interview as well as an enhanced video conversation, enriched by detailed visuals that illuminate the discussions. Visit the Youtube channel to see all the recordings, including shorter highlight episodes.

    To read more about each episode, and browse through the full archive of conversations, visit the Podcast page on Andy Kirk's Visualising Data website. Explore Explain is a Bethany Andrew production.

  • S6E1 - SPECIAL GUEST PANEL - Data Viz Freelancing
    Feb 12 2025

    Welcome to episode 1 of season 6 of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design.

    This episode is taken from a recorded webinar held on 27th January 2025 titled ‘Data Viz Freelancing’ and featuring a panel of guests including:

    • Julie Brunet - Data Designer and Creative Director for Nightingale Magazine
    • Tiziana Alocci - Data Artist, Lecturer
    • Obinna Iwuji - Content and Business Development Manager
    • Anne-Marie Dufour - Data Visualization Designer & Developer
    • Vivian Andreozzi - Information Designer and Data Analyst

    Steven Nijman, Data Journalist and Storytelling Specialist, was unfortunately unable to join due to illness.

    With contributions from the audience we explore the pleasures and pitfalls of working professionally as a freelancer in the data visualisation field. The panellists offer valuable insight about their experiences, motivations, and advice about ways of working, with plenty of tips and tactics along the way. Non-freelancers are always quite intrigued by what freelancers do and, similarly, freelancers are always intrigued by what other freelancers do. In this conversation we try to satisfy both dimensions of interest!

    Jan 17 2025

    Welcome to episode 9 of season 5 of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design.

    In this latest episode, I am delighted to welcome Alan Smith, Head of Visual and Data Journalism at the Financial Times in London.

    We explore the story behind a unique project Alan worked on titled the 'FT Money Machine': faithfully recreating an analogue computer - built in 1949 by Bill Phillips designed to model the flow of an Economy using water and pumps - but translating it to be experienced in VR, with the FT's first application built for the Apple Vision Pro.
