The Rhetorical Situation, May 18, 2010

Well, I'm a bit late with the podcasts lately, but here, friends, is the May 18 show.

Minneapolis is hot, thesis revisions are moving along fine, and we'll be presenting at 8:30 a.m. on Monday for the Rhetoric Society of America Conference.

Enjoy some music. Only two episodes of The Rhet Sitch remain!

The Rhetorical Situation, May 11, 2010

I have no idea what happened during this episode of The Rhetorical Situation because my brain has been fried by academia. But I see from the playlist (below) that we played some damn good songs! I think I went on some self-indulgent rant about midway through the show (see: any week), and was this the week that someone called in to say we're his/her favorite show on the station? Anything is possible.

Jacob and I dash into the studio at the last minute and drop bombs: new Broken Social Scene, new Hold Steady, new Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, new Gogol Bordello, New Pornographers. (See what I did there?)

Not to mention, we sound off about racial profiling in Arizona, and I lament the end of an emotional Blazers season. Oh, and excuse the slight delay before the first song.
