S2:E6 – What is Hagiography?
Rhetoric O Rama - A podcast by Dr. David R. Dewberry and Dr. Tim "As Seen on TV" McGee
Categories:
In this episode, we discuss hagiography, the holy writing about saints (the religious kind, not the New Orlean’s football team). In the end, the lesson is that biography is to exposition as hagiography is to emulation. How about that?! We also discuss how Tim canonized Dave as St. David of Dewberry for a $5 cheeseburger. 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 and then offers some tasty extra bonus content: a fallacy, a historical tidbit, or a stylistic device to help improve your own rhetoric. David R. Dewberry and Tim McGee are professors of communication at Rider University. After each show, they get a cheeseburger and celebrate the time Tim was on Wheel of Fortune in the early 80s.
