USC Annenberg posted video of my talk in which I discuss the genre chapter of Climbing the Charts. In the chapter/talk I discuss how genre conventions structure diffusion, using as examples crossover between radio formats and the institutionalization of reggaetón with the growth of the “hurban” format.

Nice. Liked your point about taboo exchanges.

Brilliant! I sent it to my PhD students as a sample of how to give a really great book-based talk.
One side note, when you stop to answer questions, you picked up a coffee cup; I had looked away at my phone and saw you out of the corner of my eye, and I *thought* that what you picked up was a beer, and I was going “damn! Those people in Annenberg really know how to party if they have beer at noon seminars!”
Duh.

Well, I find that it helps to be a little drunk at talks, just to take the edge off of nerves.
