Rhetorical Questions (podcast) discusses the rhetorical legacy of President Obama with Professors Jennifer Mercieca, Mark McPhail, and David Frank

Rhetorical Questions has released a new episode: The Rhetorical Legacy of President Obama. Professors Jennifer Mercieca, Mark McPhail, and David Frank join me to reflect on our nation’s 44th president. We discuss the “heroic expectations” that accompanied Obama’s 2009 inauguration, his rhetoric of racial “consilience,” the implications of Trump’s recent victory, and more. The show, along with previous episodes, is available at www.rhetoricalquestions.org.

Rhetorical Questions seeks to offer rhetorical analyses of social and political phenomena in a form accessible to popular audiences (and suitable for undergraduate students). It launched in April 2015. You can follow the show on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/rhetqs) and Twitter (@RhetQs), and you can subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or I Heart Radio. Links are available on our website, rhetoricalquestions.org. Direct email inquiries to rhetoricalquestions@yahoo.com.
