Data is everything and everything’s data, but who actually owns it? And what does it mean for us and the planet?

For our first episode, we decided to go big right out of the gate and tackle the messy, fascinating world of data, it’s ownership, and why it matters.
We discuss what we even mean when we say “data” in the first place, try to define what counts as environmental data (spoiler: context is everything), and unpack how seemingly harmless bits of information can be stitched together into something powerful (and sometimes terrifying), especially when controlled by big tech and opaque power systems.
And most importantly, we explore what an alternative data ownership model could look like, and how it might help build a more equitable future for all of us.

Hello World!

Welcome to Panic with a Purpose, a new podcast by Nū Data.

Hosted by Nhi and CJ the EJ guy, the podcast is exploring climate, justice, and the role of data & AI in shaping our collective future. We panic… but instead of letting it overwhelm us, we use it as fuel to get educated and promote solutions!

Expect data-driven opinions, caffeine-fueled ramblings, and anything in-between. And did we mention memes? 👀

This trailer offers a first glimpse into the slightly unhinged world of Panic with a Purpose. New episodes drop monthly, tackling topics like data centres, data ownership and democracy, and whether AI can actually help address the climate crisis.

If climate news leaves you spiralling but still determined to do something - and you’re looking for a community of like-minded people - this podcast is for you!
