In this podcast, you'll hear stories primarily from my Amherst College Class of 1994 classmates as we reflect on life 30+ years removed from graduation day. What have we been up to all these years? How has Amherst and a liberal arts education impacted our lives? What college memories have stayed with us? How are we thinking about the next 20 years?

  • Tarleton Gillespie Transformed A Passion For Pop Culture Into His Life’s Work

    Tarleton Gillespie Transformed A Passion For Pop Culture Into His Life’s Work
    Aug 3 2026
    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.

  • James Glazer Discovered What Matters After Losing What Mattered Most

    James Glazer Discovered What Matters After Losing What Mattered Most
    Jul 28 2026
    When I first decided to focus this podcast on fellow Amherst College graduates, my guest for this episode was the first person I thought of. That's because more than anybody else I know, James Glazer has lived intentionally, choosing his life rather than letting anyone else choose it for him. At the age of 30, James lost his father. Through that loss and grief, he came to recognize something that's true for all of us: the most finite resource any of us have is time. In that awakening, he rethought his career path, his definition of success, and the way he wanted to spend his time. Influenced by the Stoics, he built a life in northern New Hampshire centered on family, community, his work in medicine, and spending time outdoors. We talk about all that and so much more, including the joy he finds in working with his hands and the playful, eye‑roll‑inducing ways he shows love to his kids. James has crafted a roadmap for defining success for ourselves. It's a gift, especially for those of us on a certain side of the age of 50. Email James at jamesglazer@gmail.com.

  • Keya Khayatian Found His Voice and the Power of Storytelling

    Keya Khayatian Found His Voice and the Power of Storytelling
    Jul 21 2026
    Keya Khayatian’s life reads like the kind of story he now champions in Hollywood: one shaped by the search for identity. Keya traces his journey from immigrating to the U.S. as a child fleeing Iran to becoming a partner and co‑head of Media Rights at UTA, where he represents some of the most influential filmmakers working today. He reflects on navigating his early experiences of feeling “othered” and discovering Amherst College, where he came into his own and developed the confidence that comes from failing and trying again. He shares what makes a storyteller’s voice unmistakable, how he advocates for artists in moments of creative conflict, and why the stories we tell ourselves matter as much as the ones we tell the world. Email Keya at khayatiank@unitedtalent.com. Show notes: Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams The Invite, Directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Wilde, Seth Rogan, Edward Norton, and Penelope Cruz
