ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Tarleton Gillespie is a leading voice in how technology and culture shape each other. Like many guests on this pod, his journey features fascinating twists and turns:
His near‑miss with the Amherst College application deadline.
The honors thesis on Beavis and Butt‑Head and The Simpsons that the English department initially rejected.
Tarleton shares how that early instinct to take pop culture seriously carried him into graduate school, studying intellectual property rights in the Napster era, a long run teaching at Cornell, and more than a decade at Microsoft Research. He proves it absolutely is possible to make a childhood fascination the foundation of a rewarding career.
