Robert Garfield is an American journalist and commentator, and the host of Bully Pulpit from Booksmart Studios.

Garfield co-wrote "Tag, You're It", a country song performed on NPR by Willie Nelson, and wrote an episode of the situation comedy Sweet Surrender.

In 2012, Garfield co-founded a podcast about the English language called Lexicon Valley, presented by Slate, with producer Mike Vuolo.

In the January 2, 2013, episode on "creaky voice" in young females, Garfield criticized the phenomenon in emphatic terms.

He is a senior fellow at the Wharton Future of Advertising Program, SEI Center for Advanced Studies in Management[17] at the University of Pennsylvania.

He has been a Professor of Practice at Penn and a Distinguished Visiting Faculty in Media Ecology at Berlin School of Creative Leadership.

Garfield said the behavior amounted to two instances of yelling at meetings, in both cases as a response to "provocation [that] was extraordinary and simply shocking".

[26] In both 2012 and 2013,[citation needed] the show won the Bart Richards Award for Media Criticism from the College of Communications at Penn State.
