Wednesday in the Woods started as a dare to work from the woods. Each episode is a short, mostly unscripted talk recorded outside, usually between 3 and 14 minutes long, on a topic from software, data science, and technology risk: setting goals and metrics, responsible data science, why modeling projects fail, AI winters, data lakes, reproducibility, and valuing data as an asset.
The series ran for 25 numbered episodes, published on LinkedIn and the Licensio, LLC YouTube channel. Episode 024 was a short clip posted only to LinkedIn and is hosted here. Transcripts come from the human-edited captions published with each video.
