S1:E7 – What is Stasis?

Did it happen? What do we call it? Is it good? What should we do about it? These are the fundamental points of stasis theory, the focus of this episode. This episode is sponsored by Talaria's Sandals. Once you get them on your feet, you'll know why they are the footwear choice of Hermes. The untranslated Greek phrase is, "διπλοῦν ὁρῶσιν οἱ μαθόντες γράμματα." Rhetoric-O-Rama is a fun and educational introduction to rhetoric by two college professors, Dr. David R. Dewberry and Dr. Tim "As Seen on TV" McGee. Each episode features a discussion on some aspect of rhetoric, some untranslated Latin or Greek, and then some tasty extra bonus content: a fallacy, a historical tidbit, or a stylistic device to help improve your own rhetoric. Whether you listen for fun or to learn the difference between Hermagoras of Temnos from Hermogenes of Tarsus, we hope you enjoy our podcast and support our made up sponsors. Dave & Tim are professors of communication in New Jersey. After each show, they get a cheeseburger and celebrate the time Tim was on Wheel of Fortune in the early 80s.
