S1:E5 – What is Forensic Rhetoric?

Have you been accused of stabbing a senator or did you get caught speeding in your chariot? If so, forensic rhetoric can help you. This episode is sponsored by Epic Tours and Travel, which is running a special on their​ Wonders of the Underworld excursion. Rhetoric-O-Rama is a fun and educational introduction to rhetoric by two college professors, Dr. David R. Dewberry and Dr. Tim "As Seen on TV" McGee. Each episode features a discussion on some aspect of rhetoric, some untranslated Latin or Greek, and then some tasty extra bonus content: a fallacy, a historical tidbit, or a stylistic device to help improve your own rhetoric. Whether you listen for fun or to learn the difference between Hermagoras of Temnos from Hermogenes of Tarsus, we hope you enjoy our podcast and support our made up sponsors. Dave & Tim are professors of communication in New Jersey. After each show, they get a cheeseburger and celebrate the time Tim was on Wheel of Fortune in the early 80s.
