I am a big fan of this podcast, as you can imagine how daunting it is for women to enter a predominantly male industry. This podcast is Hosted exclusively by female data scientists, providing advice for other women and how they can succeed. However, it does have a lot of general data conversations, such as ‘Applying Machine Learning to Solve Global Food Security Challenges’.

However, they also include very good content to help people change their careers, what path they should take, and the different courses available.
