Last week, the response to our Classic throwback episode was amazing!
Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words for our journey since 2019 on The Analytics Show.
Because of this, we have decided to deliver another special episode this week – another classic.
This is Episode 40 – a jump from last week’s Episode 5 – first released back in December 2020, almost a year after beginning TAS and during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
And it’s now being rereleased as Episode 106.
Where were you in 2020?
