Hello and welcome to Anurag Minus Verma's podcast. A few years ago, I had the privilege of speaking at several US universities, and many of you have requested access to those speeches. Today, I'm excited to share one such speech from the University of Michigan, where I was invited by Prof Joyojeet Pal. This talk focused on humor's role in society, the ambiguous nature of speaking truth to authority, the significance of pop culture, and the emergence of internet subcultures.
