from Data for the People! Hosted by Data Foundation

Send us Fan Mail Every day, millions of Americans rely on federal data—often without realizing it.

Welcome to Data for the People!, a new podcast from the Data Foundation that shines a light on this essential but often overlooked infrastructure. Hosted by J.B. Wogan, each episode features conversations with leaders from the public and private sectors about the national datasets that belong to the American people and the policy changes in Washington that could enhance—or limit—their use.
