After two successful seasons of the Data Chaos podcast, we've decided to take a pause on any new episodes. We've absolutely loved all of the conversations we've had with our guests but ultimately have decided to focus our efforts on more technically nuanced content.

That new content will be centered on ClickHouse. It's no secret that my company, Propel (which sponsors Data Chaos), is built using this lightning-fast columnar database. We created Propel as the easiest way to run ClickHouse at any scale and learned a ton along the way. We want to share these learnings with the community through our blogs and the new podcast.

Whether you're a seasoned ClickHouse admin, a data enthusiast, or just curious about high-performance analytics, this podcast covers everything from basic concepts to advanced use cases. It features industry experts, real-world success stories, and best practices to help you get the most out of ClickHouse in your data stack.

We hope you give it a listen!
