After the One Chart at a Time series earlier this year, I started expanding my YouTube channel to include more Excel step-by-step tutorials and the PolicyViz Podcast. I've also started a new series of Data Visualization Critique videos. You can also watch episodes of the PolicyViz Podcast, if you want to see me and guests chat.

I dropped prices on various items at the PolicyViz Shop this week to move some inventory out of my basement! Check out new lower prices on games, sheets, and more. Plus, as a subscriber, you can get an additional 10% off everything in the shop! Just use the coupon code "subscriber" when you check out.

The podcast is completely listener-supported. There are no ads on the show notes page or in the audio. If you would like to financially support the show, please check out my Patreon page, where just for a few bucks a month, you can get a sneak peek at guests and pose your own questions.
