About this episode

The episode reflects on gratitude for the podcast's community and looks forward to the upcoming year.

As we start 2026, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has been part of The Effective Statistician podcast. This episode features my co-host, Alun Bedding, reflecting on the past year and sharing thanks on behalf of both of us. From our listeners who tune in, share episodes, and engage with the content, to our guests who generously share their expertise and real-world experiences — your participation makes this podcast both insightful and practical for statisticians worldwide. I also want to recognize Reine and her production team. So much of the work that brings each episode to life happens behind the scenes, and we are deeply grateful for their professionalism and dedication. We’re excited about what 2026 has in store. I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you and bringing even more valuable conversations to our community.
