Podcasts about Trope

For more than a decade, one conference has been getting ahead of the headlines instead of chasing them. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff sits down with Mark Treitel, founder of TechTainment, and Konrad Trope, the conference's co-chair, ahead of this year's event to talk about how a niche gathering on technology, entertainment, and the law grew into one of the country's premier forums for examining AI's legal, ethical, and business impact, and why staying "gutsy" enough to tackle hard conversations before they go mainstream is the whole point. Guests Mark Treitel, Founder, TechTainment A senior intellectual property and technology litigator with Quinn Emanuel, Mark recognized 12 years ago that no conference was seriously addressing the intersection of technology, entertainment, and the law. Rather than wait for someone else to fill that gap, he created TechTainment under the auspices of the Los Angeles Intellectual Property Law Association (LAIPLA). What began as a small gathering of a handful of speakers has grown into a full-day conference featuring more than 30 speakers and nearly 200 attendees from across the country. Konrad Trope, Managing Shareholder, Trope and Trope Konrad comes from a family of eight attorneys whose legal careers date back to 1954, when his father, Eugene Trope, and his uncle co-founded the law firm Trope and Trope. Over the following 75 years, the firm has represented some of Hollywood's most illustrious names, including Cary Grant, Alan Ladd, Nicole Kidman, and Nick Cassavetes. Konrad has focused his own practice on entertainment and intellectual property litigation for the past 40 years. He was introduced to Mark and TechTainment in September 2022 after chairing a panel on ethics in the age of digital media at the seventh annual conference, and became co-chair in January 2023, since carving out a niche recruiting panelists and keynote speakers who are defining the boundaries of artificial intelligence. What is TechTainment? TechTainment is an annual, one-day conference produced by LAIPLA, now held in partnership with the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU) at ASU's California Center in downtown Los Angeles. The conference brings together leaders in technology, entertainment, business, academia, and law to discuss the issues reshaping every industry, long before those issues become mainstream news. This year's conference: Friday, October 16, 2026, at ASU's California Center in downtown Los Angeles Keynote: David Alpert, CEO and co-founder of Skybound Entertainment, known for transforming intellectual property like Invincible into television, film, games, and tabletop products Panels include: recent developments in AI and entertainment law; recent developments in IP and entertainment law; how AI is changing greenlighting decisions in film and TV (moderated by Konrad, featuring Craig Wagner of Paradigm Talent Agency); managing AI data and addressing bias in prompt design (featuring speakers from Tokyo Broadcasting System, Microsoft, Lexus, DLA Piper, Amazon, and Oracle); algorithms and arbitrators, on implicit bias in tech-driven mediation (featuring Tricia Schaefer and Mike Murray of Vertex); a civility and professionalism panel featuring Dr. Wittcoff, the dean of Washington University School of Law, and a leading Southern California legal ethics expert; and a secret panel still being finalized at the time of recording Panelist Tracy Freed has spoken at all 12 years of the conference Key Topics Covered A new civility requirement for California attorneys Beginning April 1, 2026, every California attorney must annually affirm a civility oath, pledging to conduct themselves with dignity, courtesy, and integrity, alongside new required training on civility and mental health awareness. Mark and Konrad discuss why professionalism and ethical conduct matter more than ever as AI transforms how lawyers practice, and why the legal profession, historically slow to prioritize wellbeing, is finally catching up. Clients "playing lawyer" with ChatGPT Mark shares how attorneys across the profession are now spending more time managing clients who arrive already convinced they've diagnosed their own legal issue using AI tools, requiring lawyers to sort fact from AI-generated assumption before real work can begin. His takeaway: these are powerful tools, but only tools, and lawyers still need the expertise to use them ethically and effectively. The pushback against "AI slop" Mark points to a growing cultural backlash against AI-generated content in entertainment, and a corresponding renaissance of audiences seeking out simple, well-told, human stories, citing the independent film Obsession and anticipation for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey as evidence people still want real actors and real storytelling. Reading, learning, and the future of legal education Both guests raise concerns about AI's effect on critical thinking, particularly in law schools, where the traditional grind of close reading has historically been what makes lawyers effective. Mark argues bluntly that if students lose the ability to read and analyze because AI is doing it for them, the consequences extend well beyond the legal profession. The bigger picture: AI, dystopia, and the future of work The conversation turns to bigger-picture anxieties around AI, from military robotics to questions about what a society looks like if AI eliminates the need to work, framing these as exactly the kind of uncomfortable, ahead-of-the-curve conversations TechTainment exists to have. A shared love of things "AI can't replace" In a lighter moment, Mark reflects on losing an entire digital music collection to digital rights management, and his frustration with ads creeping into the modern moviegoing experience, both examples of technology's tradeoffs even in entertainment he loves. Why they're still doing this after 12 years Mark closes by reflecting on the sheer number of hours he and Konrad have poured into the conference over more than a decade, admitting there were plenty of moments he could have walked away for more billable hours or family time. His answer for why he hasn't: a genuine, long-term commitment to the vision, one he hopes people are still gathering around in 10 or 20 years.

You know the trope: the DM who builds an unwinnable encounter, or a puzzle so clever it's basically unsolvable — not because the story needed it, but because somewhere underneath, they needed to feel untouchable.In this episode, Justin unpacks the inner work behind that trope: a concept he calls “okness,” the diamond-level self-security that keeps insecurity, jealousy, and thin skin from leaking into your games. You'll get four practical exercises — the Negative Feedback Loop, the Gratitude Journal, the Worst Case Scenario, and Subtraction — to build the kind of okness that lets you take criticism, welcome chaos at the table, and run better games because of it, not in spite of it.Thanks for listening to today's show.

Welcome to Manga Monday! This week we're diving into My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, Wataru Watari's light novel series better known as OreGairu, with a manga adaptation by Io Naomichi. Hachiman Hikigaya is a high school loner who's turned cynicism into an art form. He thinks youth is a lie, friendship is performative, and romance is a scam. So naturally his teacher forces him into the Service Club, where he has to help other students with their problems alongside Yukino Yukinoshita, a girl who's brilliant, beautiful, and has the warmth of a freezer. Then there's Yui, the bubbly, kind hearted girl who genuinely wants to be friends with both of them. What starts as a comedy about a bitter kid slowly becomes one of the most psychologically sharp character studies in the genre. Hachiman's self-sacrificing methods of solving problems by making himself the villain work, but they hurt everyone around him, and the series never lets him off the hook for it. Three seasons of anime, 14 volumes of light novels, and over 10 million copies sold.

We can't stop thinking about it.Phoebe Bridgers' new album has a lyric that sounds suspiciously like a dig at Gracie Abrams, and once you add Paul Mescal and some very specific glow-in-the-dark bed sheets into the mix, this "feud" gets a lot messier.

In this episode, Casey speaks with photographer, filmmaker, and DePaul University professor James Choi, who returned to Seoul after 46 years away and came back with the images that became Seoul Days and Nights, a new photo book from Trope. They dig into what it means to photograph a city holding ancient tradition and radical modernity in the same frame, the slow disappearance of the small family-run food shops that give neighborhoods their character, and how the Korean social concept of nunchi - the unspoken ability to read a room - shapes James's entire approach to working on the street. In This Episode How a six-month sabbatical in Seoul turned into a photo book Photographing the tension between ancient palaces and glass skyscrapers - and why Seoul makes that contrast feel surprisingly at peace The vanishing mom-and-pop food culture, and what gets lost when it goes What nunchi is, why James's mother always said he had it, and how it cuts both ways as a street photographer The ethical lines James draws on the street - when he holds back and why The one image in the book that reminded him of his grandfather What he hopes a first-time Seoul visitor takes from the book vs. what he hopes a local sees Episode Promos Seoul Days and Nights — https://amzn.to/4xSLRZz StyleCloud website templates for photographers — https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/stylecloud | Code: NERDYPHOTO15 for 15% off Luminar Neo photo editing software — https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/luminar | Code: NERDYPHOTO for $10 off SiteGround web hosting — https://siteground.com/go/nerdy Support The Nerdy Photographer Sign Up for The Power Up - https://nerdyphotographer.com/newsletter Get some artwork from the print shop - https://art.caseyfphoto.com Buy some Nerdy Photographer Merch - https://nerdyphoto.dashery.com Use our link to buy new gear from Adorama - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/adorama Use our link to buy used gear from KEH - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/keh Follow along with us on social media @thenerdyphoto About My Guest James Choi grew up a latchkey kid in Chicago. His parents immigrated from Korea when he was five and worked six days a week, so from age six and Seven he was alone taking the bus, walking the city, learning to read people and places and light. He didn't know it then, but he was already doing what he'd spend his life doing: observing. Photography and eventually filmmaking came from that. His work has earned Awards at SXSW, Slamdance and Chicago International Film Festival. As an educator, James is also an assistant Professor at DePaul University where he founded Indie Studio, supporting students making their first independent features. Seoul Days and Nights is in some ways a return to the beginning except this time he was walking a city that looked like him.

Os exames nacionais, este ano, andam de “tropeção em tropeção”. Mas na noite em que este programa é emitido finalmente chegaram às escolas as notas finais. Contudo, muitas ainda não foram afixadas. Há alunos que já sabem que notas tiveram, outros que o saberão amanhã e outros só daqui lá mais para a frente, ainda com prazo indefinido. E certas qualificações foram mesmo dadas como “suspensas”, ou seja, aguardam correção. Isto numa altura em que os alunos já deviam estar a focar-se na 2º fase. Os calendários começam a chocar uns nos outros com a aproximação também da data de candidaturas às universidades. Neste Expresso da Meia-Noite, tentamos perceber o que é que correu mal, o que há ainda para correr mal e como minimizar os danos. Para isso, contamos com Mariana Vieira da Silva (deputada do PS e ex-ministra de Estado e da Presidência), Ana Gabriela Cabilhas (deputada do PSD e vice-coordenadora da Comissão para a Educação e Ciência), António Carlos Cortez (professor e ensaísta) e Isabel Dantas (professora e classificadora da disciplina de Geografia). O programa foi emitido na madrugada de 18 de julho e moderação contou com Ângela Silva e Ricardo Costa. Ouça aqui a versão em podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perhaps the key to understanding modern American politics isn't an academic think tank report, but instead rambunctious cult classic films, like Caddyshack and Animal House, that pit low-status underdogs against high-status bluebloods, preps, and jocks. In an essay for Politico, author Dan Brooks argues that movies like these hardwired Americans to root for the rude, rule-breaking outsiders over the buttoned-up establishment, and it's shaping how people vote.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Brooks to discuss how the “slobs versus snobs” movie trope can be a metaphor for American political parties, why candidates like Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner may be finding traction with voters, and whether Democrats can ever rewrite their role in this story. Read Brooks' essay here.

Send us Fan MailBeth and Lisa discuss the 2026 publishing landscape. From the end of prestige imprints like Dial Books to the flood of AI content, they explore why the industry feels increasingly "disposable" and "noisy."Key Discussion PointsThe Shift to Content Management: Private equity firms are replacing veteran editors with "content managers" to prioritize franchises over literary prestige.The AI Explosion: Of the 4 million books published in 2025, approximately 3.5 million were AI-generated, burying human authors in the Amazon ecosystem.The "Trope" Trap: Acquisitions often require specific TikTok hashtags—like "Enemies to Lovers"—to ensure easier, data-driven marketing.Indie Press Opportunities: Smaller houses are thriving by focusing on niche audiences, such as middle-aged readers, that the "Big Five" often overlook.No More Developmental Edits: Overworked editors no longer have time to "fix" books; manuscripts must be 100% publication-ready before querying.Tips for AuthorsBuild Early: Identify and connect with your audience directly rather than relying on a publishing house to do it for you.Polish Fully: Use your community or coaches to ensure your work is flawless before submission, as agents and editors are spread too thin to provide heavy revisions.Next Guest: Author and 5th-grade teacher Colby Sharp joins the show on April 27th.Connect with UsSubmit your "First Pages" for an on-air critique!Follow Writers with Wrinkles on Threads (our new crystal ball) and TikTok.
