The Moderate Review

Hey everyone I just want to give an update on where I have been and what I have been doing.Please follow My Search for Meaning and Purpose wherever you get your podcasts!

This year is an election cycle and it appears that it is going to get a little nasty in regards to rhetoric. In response to that some friends and I met to discuss what rhetoric is and how politicians use logical fallacies.

The Moderate Review will be going on hiatus for the time being. I am working on a podcasting project and will be focusing on that for the time being. If you are interested or wanting particapate in this project, please reach out to me through Instagram or Twitter. Instagram & Twitter: @taggajac
