Global talks and conversation series
Talks at Google
Talks at Google is a conversation series organized by teams at Google and released freely as video. Launched in 2006, the program hosts authors, researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, public leaders and other practitioners for long-form discussions in front of company employees. The channel functions as a multidisciplinary archive rather than a podcast centered on one permanent host.1,2
01 · The profile
An editorial identity
The program grew from events hosted inside Google offices and later expanded across company locations around the world. Guests present a book, research project, creative work or professional experience before taking questions from a host and the audience. That structure preserves the guest’s own voice while providing enough time to explain a method, its context and its limitations.1
Google began collecting the recordings on YouTube so the talks could reach audiences beyond its offices. By 2011, the company reported that the archive had passed one thousand videos. The catalogue has continued to broaden across disciplines; on Ooléle, each episode remains attributed to Talks at Google as the editorial series, with Google as organizer and the invited guest as the primary voice.2,3
