Podcast appearances and mentions of broderick turner

It's show #200!!! And Rob and Jenners are joined by the ENTIRE Spectrum Sportsnet Los Angeles crew - including the Hall of Famer Big Game James Worthy, LA Times writer Broderick Turner, and studio hosts Allie Clifton, Mike Bresnahan and Chris Geeter McGee - all at the same time! Rob did not make the list of Hall of Fame Finalists this year, so we start by asking James Worthy about what it was like when he got the call - and he jokes that he didn't make it until his third try and the first two let downs really upset him. Then we get into the mess that was the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, as James and BT feel like it would just be better to go back to the original East-West format and play for either pride or home court advantage. Allie Clifton weighs in (from the parking lot at Spectrum, as she's gotta work tonight) as does producer and host Mike Bresnahan. We also get Chris McGee joining the conversation as we break down Mac McClung winning his third dunk title, what it would take to fix the dunk contest, and what everyone wants to see during All-Star Weekend in the future. We of course have to speak to the Lakers of it all, since we are joined by the entire Lakers TV crew - and everyone has mixed opinions about the Mark Williams failed trade and LeBron's health going forward. And James hammers Rob about whether or not Alabama is going to make a run at the NCAA title this  year, because he knows his North Carolina Tar Heels won't! THANK YOU for rolling with us for 200 shows, and thank you to the entire Spectrum crew for making it one to remember!

In this podcast episode, Professor Aziza Jones of the Wisconsin School of Business talks about a paper she co-authored with Broderick Turner and Kalinda Ukunwa about how marketing interventions can be used to decrease school segregation. Their research shows that providing information to parents that counters prior beliefs can increase the likelihood that they will send their children to more racially diverse schools.  Paper: Marketing Toward the Desegregation of Schools

Wharton's Stephanie Creary speaks with Dr. Broderick Turner -- a Virginia Tech marketing professor who also runs the school's Technology, Race, and Prejudice (T.R.A.P.) Lab -- and Dr. Karim Ginena -- a social scientist and founder of RAI Audit -- on how to use AI while thinking critically about its flaws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Turner runs the Technology, Race, and Prejudice Lab, or TRAP Lab.

The end of a year is always a nice reminder to reflect on time passed. It's a regular milestone where you can check in on your experiences and remember the lessons gained from another trip around our sun.    This year has been an interesting one. With a foot half-in, half-out of the pandemic, continuing supply chain issues, rising inflation rates all over the world, and a war in Ukraine, one might even say awful.    However, like any year, everything isn't awful. There have been moments, professionally and personally that have been exceedingly positive and have changed us for the better, even if it was just a little bit.    In this episode, we each share a professional and personal lesson learnt from this year. From a description of the world's ugliest knife (which you can see for yourself at minute 19:26 on our YouTube Channel of the podcast) to the significant realization I had that AI is just our bias written in code shared by our guest Broderick Turner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Marketing at Virginia Tech., and founder of TRAP LAB, a few months ago, there is sure to be something for everyone—or at least some thing to entertain you.    Key Ideas to Improve your Customer Experience   04:37  Ryan explains how this year taught him that businesses should quit waiting for things to get back to normal; the future is the next normal. 11:24  Colin shares what the revolving door on 10 Downing Street experience this year in the UK reminded him about business and philosophy.    19:26  Ryan explains that learning something new can make you feel more ready to adapt to change, and then showed the knife he made himself, which he describes as the world's ugliest knife. 23:32 Colin reminds us all that history repeats itself, which means that the skills we learned long ago might come in handy again; so, if you can manage it, don't forget those lessons.   Did you know we have a YouTube Channel too?

Organizations need to embrace that emotional side of their experiences. Not only to design an experience that surprises and delights their customers, but also so their Artificial Intelligence works to provide useable insight. Combining the emotional data into the formula with concepts from the behavioral science side will make it so organizations can understand what and why their customers do what they do.    However, I worry that they don't.    You'll remember that Customer Science is the fusion of data, the behavioral sciences, and artificial intelligence (AI). Today, we will discuss what role AI plays in predicting customer emotions and how they affect customer behavior.    AI isn't perfect. Yet. We did an interview with Broderick Turner, Ph.D., from Virginia Tech about AI recently. Turner explains his skepticism about AI since he views AI as opinions written in code.    However, imperfect or not, AI technology gives us some options we didn't have before.  Applied intelligently and with a deliberate approach, AI has the potential to solve problems, and help us achieve goals.    This episode is the second of a series of podcasts we did with Beyond Philosophy's own Zhecho Dobrev (@ZhechoDobrev), author of The Big Miss: How Organizations Overlook the Value of Emotions. We talked with him before on our podcast a month ago about how emotions drive customer behavior. This week, we dive a little deeper on this concept, and explore how emotions affect the insights we get from Customer Science. If you'd like to read a bit more from Zhecho on emotional attachment being a key factor in customer-drive growth check out this article here.       Key Ideas to Improve your Customer Experience   In the book, Dobrev shares research about AI. It looks at the typical customer journey touchpoints and how much value do each of those drive. Also, Dobrev examines where emotions and customer relationships affect the outcome, and how much value those provide. Now, he is analyzing how AI uses each of those customer journey mapping touchpoints, meaning the customer infinity lifecycle thinking about the brand, learning about the product, purchasing experience, and all the other points until we get to customer retention.      Here are a few more key moments in the discussion:   03:36  We talk about the recent podcasts that led to this one, including the first one with Zhecho a little while ago, the podcast we did on Customer Science, and an episode we had with a guest, Broderick Turner, about how opinions make their way into AI code.  08:30  Dobrev explains that regarding AI in the Customer Science mix, it should include customer emotional data, as they are the main drivers of customer behavior; otherwise, the insights it has gleaned may not be authentic drivers of behavior. 10:43  Dobrev shares three organizations that have done a great job using AI to understand how emotions affect and drive customer behavior and why it helped.  20:26  Colin shares how a previous podcast, one about the book, The Myth of Experience, demonstrates one of the problems with AI, which is that organizations don't have the data they think they do and how that leads to problems with their application of it. 29:09 Dobrev shares his plans about what is next for AI and experience, and his effort to piece together a strategy that can improve all experiences moving    Please tell us how we are doing!

Who messes it up? That's right, human programmers.    The common misconception is that AI is a pure technological brain built from scratch without the risk of human influence. The truth is the program is incapable of performing tasks beyond the boundaries of the specific situations for which the algorithms were designed.   Take the basic linear regression formula: y = mx + b. This simple equation is a program to figure out the output or “Y” by means of the input “B” through the algorithm “mx.” All that an AI is doing can be summarized at a basic level in this equation. It is finding an output from an input using a fundamental algorithm. Since the AI is simply doing the math, the algorithm is the most important part of any AI.    Understanding these principles, it is apparent what really matters in AI construction is the importance put upon the inputs in the coding process. Currently, AI is not capable of making these decisions; only human coders have that power.    In this episode, we talk about today's AI and its flaws with our guest Broderick Turner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Marketing at Virginia Tech., and founder of TRAP LAB (Technology Race and Prejudice LAB). We explore the inherent biases built into programmers' decisions when making AI's—and the ridiculousness of a robot uprising with the technology we have today.    So, What's AI Good for Then?   Many of us perceive AI as mysterious as a magic trick. However,  in reality, AI is a series of algorithms. In other words, AI is merely the means of producing an output from an input based upon the algorithm put in place by the programmer. Therefore, AI tends to work best when the inputs are limited.    Here are a few key moments in the discussion:   03:46 Dr. Turner introduces “Weapons of Math Destruction”, the concept that AIs are merely opinions written in code, and what that means for AI. 05:30 We discuss the absurdity of the idea of an AI takeover and why this would be impossible with our current technology. 09:32 Ryan asks Dr. Turner to explain what scenarios AI is good for and we discuss some of the most successful AI products in the modern world. 13:09 Dr. Turner discusses his own private research including how AI is used in conjunction with YouTube thumbnails to determine optimization for view counts for advertisers. 17:12 We discuss how AI is used to determine which thumbnails will be the default based upon data collected through user trials and how AI is effective in this field. We then discuss how AI audits are conducted in these scenarios. 26:28 We discuss the results of the audits conducted by Dr. Turner and what this means about the user groups of the sites tested. 32:40 Dr. Turner discusses the racial and gender biases found in websites like Twitter and how the algorithms the sites use affect them.     Please tell us how we are doing!

Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan interested in joining LeBron James, Anthony Davis on the Lakers Let the rumors begin! For the Los Angeles Lakers, they should be plenty active and garner a ton of interest from the high-profile names with NBA free agency right around the corner. With a star duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, who wouldn't want to team up and have a legitimate shot to walk away with an NBA title? Well, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry both have interest in joining the Lakers, according to Broderick Turner of the LA Times. “DeRozan, who starred at Compton High and USC, has interest in returning home to play for the Lakers, even if it is for less than the $27.7 million he earned last season in San Antonio, according to people not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.” Adding DeRozan is a rumor that has floated around for some time and could finally be a reality. The San Antonio Spurs star played at USC and could have a shot at a title with the purple and gold. At this past NBA trade deadline, the Lakers floated around with the idea of acquiring Lowry from the Toronto Raptors, although nothing came to fruition, and there's a chance he joins the Lakers in the summer as well. “Though the Lakers didn't acquire Lowry at the trade deadline, he remains interested in joining them, according to people with knowledge of his situation.” Either way, after a first-round exit to the hands of the Phoenix Suns, expect the Lakers to be active on the market and walk away with somebody in their hopes of recapturing another NBA title. Buckle up, this will be one wild offseason in the NBA. So Z Nation, who do you think is the best fit on the Lakers? DeMar DeRozan? Or Kyle Lowry?? Or should they consider CP3? Or Other???

Ever since Kobe Bryant was a rookie for the Los Angeles Lakers, Broderick Turner covered him -- first for the Riverside Press-Enterprise, then for the Los Angeles Times, where he is now the Lakers beat writer. Turner had some great tales to tell, such as what motivated Kobe Bryant to get into the gym early every morning to shoot 1,000 shots, and he shared a bunch of those stories with podcast host Chris Sheridan, who also spent two decades covering Bryant, including a stop in Beijing with the 2008 version of Team USA. Have a listen and enjoy. We all miss Kobe a lot, which we were reminded of on the one-year anniversary of his death. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join host Beto Duran as he takes you into Staples Center prior to Game 3 of the 1st Round Playoff Series between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors. Maybe these Clippers were not on everyone's radar prior to their dramatic 31 point come from behind victory over Golden State in Game 2. So we set out to answer the question - who are these LA Clippers? We asked the coach (Doc Rivers), the starting center (Ivica Zubac), the broadcasters who cover them (Ralph Lawler, Jim Hill, Brian Sieman, and Don MacLean), and our sports journalists (Bill Plaschke, Brad 'BT' Turner, Andrew Greif, and Arash Markazi) to try and discover the answer.

The next Wizards home game will see LeBron James come to Washington for the first time as a Laker this Sunday evening. Chris & Drew welcome on a man who has covered LA hoops for a long time, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times.All 3 guys in this episode have unique experiences of LeBron's history as Drew his teammate in Cleveland for 4 seasons and Chris covered him as early as high school in Ohio.Stay tuned at the end (21:05) for Broderick explaining what's also been working this season for the Clippers.

Chase and Chris went through the best bargain big men free agent options for the Wizards including Nerlens Noel, Alex Len, Greg Monroe and more. Plus, Broderick Turner of the L.A. Times fills us in on what the Wizards are getting in Austin Rivers. Also, is it good the Wizards didn't trade for Paul George?
