A podcast about rhetoric and current events hosted by M. Elizabeth Thorpe, PhD. In this podcast we explore the way big ideas from the world of rhetoric apply to every day life. We focus on major events that are shaping the world today and consider how those things that sometimes seem like they belong in the ivory tower can actually help us make sense of the life we are living. This isn’t a podcast for the experts. This is a podcast for the intellectually curious.

In this episode we discuss Trump's June 20th rally and analyze his speech in terms of his lack of argument and tendency to simply list claims. We look at two sections of his speech that were extended narratives and argue they were defenses of his masculinity. Learn more about Kairoticast at https://kairoticast.com.
