Behind the Data
Behind the Data is a podcast about the hidden stories tucked inside the data that shapes our world. From political polls to global happiness indexes, we go beyond charts and headlines to uncover where data comes from, why it’s collected, and what it can (and can’t) tell us. Each episode explores a fascinating dataset that helps us better understand the systems, policies, and people around us. Whether you’re new to data or work with it every day, you’ll find approachable conversations, surprising insights, and a reminder that every dataset reflects a choice—and a story worth telling.
Join us as we explore where data comes from—and where it can take us. Because data isn’t just numbers; it’s how we make sense of the world.

Stats: Statistics are produced by Acast to help Behind the Data to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Acast is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Tracking and attribution: Acast or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Behind the Data later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to Behind the Data also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: Acast may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Behind the Data may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
