Show overview

NETfrix - Network Science Podcast has been publishing since 2020, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 13 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 32 min and 50 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Science show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 8 episodes published. Published by Asaf Shapira.

S1 Ep 13NETfrix Shorts: Why is Dunbar the loneliest number?

Dunbar's Number is a well-known concept which states that the number of social ties a person has is about 150. But... when Dunbar, the famous researcher who came up with this thesis, promoted this idea on his many interviews lately, people's reaction was of disbelief. 150 sounded to them as an inflated number. If it is true, where are all these friends? So who's right - Dunbar or the talkbackers? To help expand the SNA and Network Science community, NETfrix needs your ratings!

S1 Ep 12NETfrix ep11:Anyone can analyze networks

To make Network Analysis accessible, we'll learn about a free and popular Network Analysis Software called Gephi. In this episode, Gephi's founder, Mathieu Jacomy, will reveal new features and make you an offer you can't refuse if you're a Java developer 😊. In the next episode, we'll continue this survey with about a dozen more free Network Analysis Software. To help expand the SNA and Network Science community, NETfrix needs your ratings!

S1 Ep 10NETfrix ep09: Six Degrees of Intuition

This episode is dedicated to improving our intuitions about networks, using the naive idea of 6-Degrees-of-separation and flip it (literally). On the way, we'll learn some new network laws.

S1 Ep 9NETfrix ep08: The Episode for the Aspiring Network Scientist w/Michele Coscia

Michele Coscia, an associate professor at IT University of Copenhagen by day, and by night, the author of the "Connecting Humanities" Blog for Network Science and "The Atlas for the Aspiring Network Scientist". Together we'll make history by telling the first network science joke in a podcast and lastly, we'll try to crack open the mystery behind Italian's obsession with Network Science and podcasts.

S1 Ep 8NETfrix ep07: Partisanship in politics and Network Science

Network Science and its dear friend, Data, are here to throw some of our intuitions about politics and partisanship under the nearest bus. Partisanship is Networks' nemesis: Networks are all about connecting while partisanship hacks away at the network's links… So, who shall prevail?

S1 Ep 6NETfrix ep06A: Groundhog's day, Dynamic Networks and Data's Holy Grail - Part 1

Dynamic networks are data science's Holy Grail. Here we'll learn why, and what are the applications and implications of dynamic networks. To do so, we'll have to understand what it has to do with complex system, chaos theory and, of course, groundhogs.

S1 Ep 5NETFRIX ep05: Communities in Networks- The #2 law of networks

How to tell a story about data by using Community Detection in networks. Communities (or clusters) are the building blocks of all networks. In this episode we'll learn about their formation and special features, and how to apply this knowledge on Big Data. And I promise - your views about cauliflowers will never be the same.

S1 Ep 4NETfrix ep04: "Game of Ties" – Centrality measures battling it out

In this episode we'll learn how to tell a story about data by using the network's gravity centers or hubs. We'll find out that hubs come in many forms and stem from different notions of what it means to be central in a network. We'll learn how to find them and how to apply this knowledge to many fields, like social media, advertising and... even on Game Of Thrones. No spoilers.

S1 Ep 3NETFRIX ep03: Powerlaw - The #1 law of networks

What do Facebook, Bitcoin and an ad campaign for designer glasses have in common? They all conform to Network Science laws. These laws are universal and are manifested in a n y network. Understanding these laws would change your perception of the world, and your data. I've warned you - Network Analysis is a powerful tool. Use it wisely - don't lose your head.

S1 Ep 2NETFRIX ep02: Is it really a Small World? The truth about the network

Milgram, the famous researcher from the 60's, set out to find how small is our world and came back with the 6-degrees-of-separation slogan, meaning the human society's network is seemingly just 6 links in diameter. Why seemingly? Because we are going to find out that Milgram got it wrong and the truth about the network is even less intuitive than he imagined.
