How much they cursed, laughed, read, smiled at strangers, \u2026 \u2014 all of this is documented in inventive, charming and very analogue ways.\n\nLearn all about the project \u2014 how they started it, what they learned, and how it will live on \u2014 in the episode.\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\nYay for slow data!\nReporter app: http://www.reporter-app.com/\nNotebook app: http://www.notebooksapp.com/\nAnd read the episode transcript here!\n\nData Stories is brought to you by Qlik, who allow you to explore the hidden relationships within your data that lead to meaningful insights.
