Scott was one of the DH Specialists associated with the Price Lab and a leading thinker and innovator in quantitative literary analysis. More importantly, he was simply one of the best people most of us knew. This episode combines some found audio of Scott talking about his work with thoughts and reflections from some of the people with whom he worked closely.

Content Warning: This episode is very different from the others. It is quite sad at times and it deals with the death of a beloved member of our community, Scott Enderle. We were so lucky to get to work with Scott everyday at Penn but his presence loomed large in digital humanities and he had friends, fans, and collaborators all over the world. We're making this episode available for everyone but especially for those who knew and admired Scott.
