Music, with or without lyrics, and sound effects are also rhetorically effective means of communicating aurally. Sound: Speech is not the only way to convey meaning in a podcast. Rahi uses monologue to narrate her podcast and present her argument to her listener. Sometimes there is a dialogue or conversation between multiple hosts other times, only one person tells the story, perhaps bringing in clips from interviews or statements from other people. Voice: The way that a podcast creator uses their voice will draw their audience into their narrative. Rahi’s story emphasizes how a film that seems like it should not be able to critique the current ecological situation when it is set several centuries in the future can actually make an argument for the interconnected nature of people and their environment. She conveys her argument using her voice, and especially her vocal affect. Her use of the music signals a change in topic throughout the episode, as well as the opening and closing of her short podcast. Fans of the Star Trek franchise will recognize the music. Rahi includes clips of the movie’s theme song to connect her own narrative to the original film. The threads of real-life ecological justice campaigns and the weird fiction elements of Star Trek IV that Rahi weaves into her podcast brings an element of logic (logos) into her argument about a futuristic Sci Fi movie. Her enthusiasm for the film, evident in her vocal affect, and her sympathy with the humpback whales who are crucial to the plot appeal through pathos to her audience. She also quotes experts in film criticism, which enhances her credibility (ethos). Rahi summarizes the film’s plot in order to demonstrate her knowledge of the 80s anti-whaling movement and Green Peace’s “Save the Whales” campaign. She connects the variety of subgenres in the film to the overall genre of weird fiction and brings together nostalgia and ecological justice.

She asked her students to produce a podcast episode that examined weird things from the 80s. Dean-Ruzicka’s Fall 2020 English 1101 class examined nostalgia and the 1980s.
