    1. How Creating a Podcast Helped Me Understand an Audience, Communication, and the Medium of a Message in a Whole New Way

      After scanning through the article, I am looking back at the title to begin my active reading stage. I think that Ann's intended audience might be an academic audience. Perhaps it is one specifically interested in the study of communication.

      Design Conventions: The use of a works cited shows that her piece is organized in the style of an academic essay. Further evidence for this is that she has written the piece for educational purposes using clear and concise language.

    3. By creating and examining my own podcast I was not only able to understand how to reach my intended audience through the means of a podcast, but also in a broader sense of anything having to deal with communicating to an audience.

      Just as the author explains there are two levels to her purpose here, we can also notice varied dimensions throughout. This is because the article is a critique of her podcast as a rhetorical situation. We are analyzing her article as a rhetorical situation. She is analyzing her podcast as a rhetorical situation. This accounts for the multiple dimensions throughout the piece. Our needs fluctuate, and align in some places better than others. Overall, it it makes a more tangible example of a rhetorical situation so that we can see the components work in a real situation.

    4. . Understanding that there is an audience behind every message and form of communication, and that you can have the power to craft your message uniquely to your audience, can help you to achieve effective communication in every realm. This will not only help you in your undergraduate studies, but it can help make any message you convey reach an audience larger than your own expectations

      Author summarizes her purpose. Here, she uses language that includes her academic audience. When she uses "you" she is including them in her critique of communications and goes on to explain to them that they can use her work to help them in their academic studies.

    5. In order to understand my role as the author of the podcast I had to make sure there was an accurate representation of myself as the main rhetor that would align with the audience. I wanted the podcast to feel like a relatable conversation between a friend or family member about things going on in the world. In order to do this, I included my sister as my co-­‐‑host to give an atmosphere that is less formal as opposed to a normal news site or channel that is more formal, primarily based on facts rather than opinions, and unrelatable among younger individuals. By emulating a normal discussion between a friend or family member I appeal to the ethos of my younger audience because we are of a similar age and background. This also contributes to the values of showing a real and honest point of view. I

      The author discusses her strategy for communicating her purpose, and why she chose the level of formality based on the atmosphere she wished to create for her audience

    6. We can relate to feeling upset because of something unfair happening when we went through the process of applying to colleges with hard work, dedication, and effort.

      Language: The author does not use language that lends itself to including the audience. Here, when she uses "we", she is speaking of her and her sister. However, here, and just before, she describes the group that they both belong to. The group is college students. Because this is an academic article this is where she creates a familiar scenario her audience will understand.

    7. or example, my podcast is comparable to NPR’s Up First news and politics podcast hosted by Rachel Martin, David Greene and Steve Inskeep.

      She compares her work with other texts of the same genre, highlighting similarities

    8. The context of the podcast is specific to a current event, the college admissions scandal, which happened recently and has been publicized. The timing is dependent on what is going on in the present. Therefore, our audience expects the context of our podcasts to be relevant to today and not to an event that happened a decade ago.

      The author is talking about the importance of timing as it relates to context in a rhetorical situation.

    9. Understanding that there is an audience behind every message and form of communication, and that you can have the power to craft your message uniquely to your audience, can help you to achieve effective communication in every realm.

    10. “[W]hy particular writing does (or does not) work depends on who the people are, where they come from, what their goals are, what technologies they have available to them, and the kinds of texts (genres) they are writing” (Wardle and Downs 11). This explains the importance of effectively addressing one’s rhetorical situation in relation to the type of communication you are doing. It

    11. By creating my own podcast and examining the parts of it I hoped to gain a better understanding of how creating a message in any aspect can be molded to accurately reach an audience and what I can do as the sender of the message to better understand the importance of an audience.

      The author seems to be using podcasts as a more tangible, easier to plainly see, example of a rhetorical situation. She is breaking down the components to see how they work in this specific scenario. I am still figuring out who her intended audience is.

    12. In order to explore how the rhetorical situation of a text can satisfy the needs of an audience or community effectively, especially in non-­‐‑traditional types of texts and communications like podcasts, I created my own short example of a podcast geared towards a specific discourse community, which can be found here: (https://soundcloud.com/ann-­‐‑forgione/ae-­‐‑podcast-­‐‑for-­‐‑stylus/s-­‐‑01RIQ).

    13. , “Whatever interests people have, there is a place for them in podcasting. A stage has been erected on which the “common man” (or woman, for that matter) can stand tall and be heard: The Internet. The price of admission is some basic equipment and a desire to communicate—that’s all”

      This is evidence the author is using to hold up their purpose/main idea.

She is interested in how technology has enhanced communication on an individual level through this form of artistic expression.
