114: I'll Marry Tom Felton One Day

In this completely off-the-rails, hilariously human second installment, Rebecca Wade returns to the AV/IT Amplifier for a wide-ranging and joyfully unpredictable conversation that barely touches technology—and that’s exactly the point. What begins as a follow-up to her work with Igloo Vision turns into a full character study as Rebecca opens up about introversion, extroversion, road-tripping across America with only the Twilight soundtrack, and the emotional weight of being British in the U.S. the week the Queen died.Ryan and Rebecca riff through a kaleidoscope of absurd hypotheticals, tall-girl tales, celebrity sightings (or lack thereof), and one particularly cursed would you rather involving finger-length legs. If episode one was about immersive tech, this one is about immersive personalities—especially Rebecca’s. It’s the kind of episode that feels more like eavesdropping on best friends at a pub than a formal interview, and it’s all the better for it.• Introversion vs. extroversion and being a remote worker in L.A.• Moving to the U.S. on a whim (and a visa)• The cross-country road trip with nothing but the Twilight soundtrack• Making a band t-shirt quilt while flanked by bulldogs• Mourning Queen Elizabeth at a San Diego tech event• Celebrity gossip and TSA run-ins with Tom Felton• Ordering fast food with a “fake” British accent• The rise and fall of a flawless American impression• Pen pals, stamps, and analog joy• Would-you-rather questions that haunt your dreamsConnect with [email protected]://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-wade-979094154/Connect with Ryanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanagray/[email protected] by Chris Dechterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cdechter/Find out more about this show and a whole collection of other great content from Higher Ed AV Media at www.higheredav.comHave thoughts on this episode?
