Ep 33 The Rhetorical Power of Statues

In Episode 33, we talk rhetoric. Specifically, the rhetorical power of statues and monuments and we give you tools to anaylze public spaces for message, intent, and audience. The Trumpster Fire focuses on Trump's attacks on the press. Our Fierce Woman Warriors this episode are Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, civil rights activists featured in The Hunting Ground, and co-founders of the survivor advocacy group, End Rape on Campus.

Our Media Minute asks you to watch brief documentary The Art of Persuasion. And finally, our Activist Action asks you to read We Believe You and learn more about how to believe survivors of sexual assault.

Ep 18 Charlottesville and white supremacy: Inside 254 takes a side

In Episode 18, we pick a side on the events in #Charlottesville and discuss the white supremacist structure of the United States. In the Trumpster Fire, we define and discuss false equivalency, equivocation, and how Trump's use of "on many sides" in relation to the Nazi rally and counterprotests in #Charlottesville is dangerous. Our Media Minute and Activist Actions ask you to dig deeper. This no-holds-barred episode is a bit longer than usual, and digs into some lesser-reported angles of the Charlottesville incident. Join us and #resist. Share this episode with your social media networks and ask others to listen and join this fight. We can do better together.
