In This Essay

In this essay, we will: - Chit chat about pop culture (because Juli has her finger on the pulse)- Do a completely untrained rhetorical analysis of the media we love (and don't).- say something true and beautiful? Maybe one day we'll accidentally stumble into that last one.

Yes, we're doing it again because we forgot some stuff before.Make media literacy cool again! (Seriously we're begging you.)

    6: Death of a Podcast

    The Ides of April spell our doom this week as we kill our podcast in order to be reborn as a cooler podcast next week. When our false start was more interesting than our show... we knew what must be done. But for now there are twice as many stars in the sky, enjoy the talk of scary nightjar mouths, the war of the genital graffiti, and why bananas are actually the fundamental element of the universe.
