In this episode I speak with yohg from SixteenZero. He tells me what the SixteenZero analytics platform is and is capable of, as well as describing their goals for the project. Creating insight from the data is all about asking the right questions, and we discuss what some of those questions might be.
I hope you enjoy this one!

In this episode Machine and I take to the bar to discuss whatever comes to our minds, whilst still trying to stay on topic with esports. It's a fun one and an experimental one. My audio setup is supposed to be able to handle loud environments and so I wanted to really test that to add some extra flavour. I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think!
Due to guest cancellation woes and a tight schedule, I take to the microphone solo to discuss a couple ideas that I find interesting in psychology when it comes to positive delusions, reward systems, achievement and mindfulness.
