Episode 104 Rhetorical Triangle

https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/rhetorical-triangle

This episode first deals with the distinction between seasons in a podcast, and George explains why he decided NOT to list the episodes in series format (even though there is a distinct chronological order) to the episodes.

Then this episode takes a look at Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle (of pathos, ethos, and logos) as necessary to understanding future episodes where the ghost of Mr. Poe and Mr. Shakepseare discuss rhetorical devices in their work.  (Not a complex or weird as it might sound.)

• What are the three “angles” of  Aristotle's  rhetorical triangle?
• What is the difference between the rhetorical triangle and rhetorical devices?
• What angle of the triangle shows the credibility of the speaker?
• What angle of the triangle appeals to emotions?
• What angle of the triangle appeals with reasoning?
• How does a conspiracy theory NOT appeal to logos?
• How can you connect with your audience?
• What is the importance of revising a speech, presentation, etc.?
• How can rhetoric appeal to the BEST in its audience?
• How can rhetoric appeal to the WORST in its audience?
