Building Trust Through Data Stories for Smart Community Leaders, with Jonathan Reichental

Hi #SmartCommunity friends! Welcome to a very special series here on the Smart Community Podcast, all about data storytelling. As part of my PhD research, I've been speaking with experts from all over the world who are using data visualizations and storytelling in real world projects to support decision making and advocacy.

This work is deeply aligned with the smart community ethos, bringing people on the journey as we use data to communicate ideas, share insights, and ultimately make better, more informed decisions together.

In this episode of the #SmartCommunity Podcast, we are kicking off the series with friend of the pod and repeat guest, Jonathan Reichental. He’s been on the show 3 times before, in Episodes 77, 251 and 275. I’ll pop links to those in the show notes if you want to go and listen. Jonathan is a technologist, educator, author and entrepreneur whose career spans media, city government, business and education, so he brings a wealth of insight and experience to this conversation.

Jonathan and I discuss the role of data visualisation in technology and business, the key components of effective data storytelling, and the importance of understanding and considering your audience. We explore some of the challenges and issues with data visualisation, such as lack of training and tools, incorrect or outdated data, information overload, and data misuse.

Jonathan tells us the elements that make data visualisations impactful and shares some examples to check out, too. We finish our chat discussing Jonathan’s advice and recommendations for effective data storytelling. As always, we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

This podcast is recorded on Yugarabul country and edited on Gaibal country. I pay my respects to their elders past and present. I also extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples listening today. Here on the Smart Community Podcast, we talk about data, technology, communities and the future. First Nations peoples have been sharing knowledge, caring for country, and telling stories for tens of thousands of years. I honour that deep connection of storytelling and community connection as we continue our conversation together here today.
