S7E21 Qualitative Research with Emily Namey Artwork

Quantitude

A podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way.

In this week's episode Greg and Patrick have a wonderful time talking about qualitative research methods with Emily Namey.

Along the way they also discuss rushing to and from LA, human heads, social props, gold stars, cut stories, hula dancing, PBS and National Geographic, a sad Italian, surfer dudes, middle managers, dead grandmothers, have skills-will travel, the Montagues and the Capulets, and being an Aries.
