Join host Benjamin Schneider with guests Casey Haltom and Allen Stafford as we explore the 1957 workplace comedy Desk Set, starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

We dive into how this classic film anticipated modern tech anxiety—depicting the introduction of an early computer (EMERAC) into a corporate research department and the fear of automation replacing human workers. From Hepburn's brilliant portrayal of efficiency expert Bunny Watson to the still-relevant workplace dynamics, we examine what makes this film resonate in 2025.

Coffee Pairing: Stumptown Coffee's Hair Bender - a rich, layered espresso blend from one of the pioneers of third-wave coffee.
