77 | Polygraph and The Journalist Engineer Matt Daniels
We have Matt Daniels on the show, the "journalist engineer" behind Polygraph, a blog featuring beautiful journalistic pieces based on data. If you are not familiar with the site, stop now and take a look.\n\nMatt starts with a simple question -- for example, what songs from the '90s are still popular? -- and tries to answer it through data analysis and visualization. The result is always a well-crafted web page and applications, with a mix of data analysis, interactive graphics, and explanations.\n\nOn the show we talk specifically about two projects: "The most timeless songs of all-time," in which Matt analyzes song popularity from Spotify data, and "Film Dialogue from 2,000 screenplays, Broken Down by Gender and Age," in which he examines movie dialogues as a way to dig deeper into gender biases in the film industry.\n\nLINKS\n\nMatt Daniels\nMatt\u2019s Medium article \u201cThe Journalist Engineer\u201d\nProject: "The largest vocabulary in Hip Hop"\nProject: "How music taste evolved"\nProject: "The most timeless songs of all-time"\nProject: "Film Dialogue from 2,000 screenplays, Broken Down by Gender and Age"
