VentureBeat's What to Think Podcast: Episode 28
0With the midterm elections over, we check in with Bryan Whitaker, chief operating officer of NGP VAN, a company that uses technology to support the campaigns of Democratic and progressive political candidates. We talk with him about how the company uses data to help campaigns reach out to voters in the best possible way.
Plus: a new organizational structure for data scientists at LinkedIn, the $199 Microsoft Band wearable, and a controversial new proposal for net neutrality.

Join us for a lively discussion of the week's biggest tech headlines, with intelligent and entertaining co-hosts and a distinguished (and surprising!) roster of guests. Each week's podcast will have two parts, designed to give you the tech news you need to know — plus informative context and new ideas — with a minimum of BS. First, we'll give you the top trends and headlines in the first 3-5 minutes. After that, we'll have a focused, intelligent, rapid-fire conversation with a different guest each week. Each podcast will be 20 to 30 minutes — just perfect for your commute. Or, if you don't have time for the whole thing, you'll be able to get the lowdown in 5 or less. Either way, What to Think is the tech news podcast that stands out by being smarter, funnier, and more to the point than those other bloviating talk shows.
