Abstract
I spent my first year of college as a music business major, a wannabe audio engineer. Thanks to two main factors, that major didn’t take. First, I learned audio engineering wasn’t just being present while cool music happened. Second, I took first year writing, which convinced me to become an English major (more on that in a bit). Despite the major switch, my audio experience proved an unexpected asset when I began pursuing a PhD in English at The University of Texas at Austin in 2011. While at UT-Austin, I worked in the Digital Writing and Research Lab, collaborating with other graduate students on projects at the intersection of digital media and rhetoric and writing studies. At the time, podcasts were attracting more and more academic attention, and, given my background with digital audio, I ended up leading a team that created a rhetoric podcast called Zeugma. When my work on that project ended, I started my own podcast: Rhetoricity
