046  |  Year 2014 Review w/ Robert Kosara and Andy Kirk

Hey yo! We have two classic guests for a classic episode: a year review with Robert Kosara and Andy Kirk. We talk about what happened in visualization in 2014 and what may happen in 2015. We start the show saying that nothing really special happened, but then you’ll see we cover a lot of ground and end up eventually deciding that a lot did happen! You can see that from our long list of links. Enjoy the show!
