The MIE Podcasts – Chandoo

23 March 2010 by Ross McLean

Purna Duggirala. Purna Duggirala. Purna Duggirala. You might better know him as Chandoo, but his name is Purna Duggirala. Chandoo is a very friendly fellow, and we had a great chat about charts and dashboards, how to design them what approaches to take etc etc… So if that sounds like your sort of thing, have a listen.

The PHD company christmas card circa 2009......

Purna runs a great Excel site Pointy Haired Dilbert, it really is super, but I reckon that anyone who reads this will know that much already. He has an MBA from IIM Indore and Computer Science degree from Andhra University, and he’s an Excel MVP, of course!  only the best for the readers (and listeners) of Methods In Excel.

One thing I didn’t know about Purna is his ability to multi task, the bat eared amongst you will be able to detect Chandoo simultaneously talking and typing away… no doubt writing some more excellent blog posts for PHD!

    Thanks for the podcasts. An Excel/VBA programmer myself, I’ve picked up some great tips, and look forward to the next release.

    Just a comment Ross. When you record the podcast interviews, is it possible to not have your voice and the interviewee’s voice panned so far left and right? On one hand it makes me feel like I’m there with you two, but on the other I probably have trouble switching sides of my brain :) And I have this constant interrupting thought that one of my earphones has short circuited when the audio switches sides. Maybe about 1/3 pan to each side to give a little separation, but still allow both ears (and sides of the brain) to keep up with the talk. I only say this because I don’t want to miss a word! You have a great podcast!

    Cheers

    Thanks for the feedback Scott.

    They should be mixed down to a “mono” track, i.e. not left right, I might have made a mistake on the mis down with this one, thanks agian
