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 the basics of post-modernity and post-structuralism by giving a brief overview of Lyotard, Derrida, and Foucault. We then review the evolution of the conservative movement over the last 45 years. We argue that the modern conservative movement is a post-modern/post-structural phenomenon and that Donald Trump is the exemplary post-modern President.
