    I started the Drill to Detail Podcast series back in 2016 in order to talk about some of the innovations coming out of the big data analytics space with the product teams, industry analysts and consultants working together to deliver new-world, cloud-hosted big data analytics platforms.

    A year-and-a-half later we’re at Episode 50 and to mark the occasion Stewart Bryson, our first guest on the show back at Episode 1 and a regular on the show since, comes back on and is joined by Alex Gorbachev to talk about Google Cloud Platform, Looker, FiveTran and SnowflakeDB, with the episode now available for download along with all 49 other episodes on the Drill to Detail Podcast website …

    … and as we’re now at the 50th episode of the show, here’s the Top 10 episodes by download statistics as of January 2018 — thanks to everyone who’s come on the show and everyone who’s listened to the show via iTunes and other podcast providers, and congratulations to Maxime Beauchemin:
