Frequently Asked
Questions

What is Eventual Consistency about?
Eventual Consistency is a fortnightly podcast where CorrDyn's Ross Katz and James Winegar break down what's actually happening in the data industry. They analyze acquisitions, product launches, vendor strategy, and technology trends from a practitioner's perspective — not a vendor's.
How is Eventual Consistency different from Data in Biotech?
Data in Biotech focuses specifically on data strategy in life sciences through guest interviews. Eventual Consistency covers the broader data ecosystem — data engineering, analytics tools, AI strategy, vendor moves — through a co-hosted discussion format. It's the data leader's reality check on industry hype.
Who should listen to Eventual Consistency?
The show is built for data leaders, engineering managers, and anyone responsible for data platform decisions at their company. If you need to evaluate tools, build team structures, or make strategic bets on technology, this show gives you the unfiltered practitioner perspective.
Does the show have guests?
Some episodes feature guest appearances, but the core format is a co-hosted discussion between Ross Katz and James Winegar. This keeps the conversation grounded in practitioner experience rather than vendor marketing.
