Welcome to Prolific: A Podcast Journey through Rhetoric, Composition, and Technical Communication. This podcast is meant for graduate students in these fields who feel a little overwhelmed by all of the names of people—not to mention their works—that we're supposed to know. In other words, this podcast is for students looking to learn more about the world they're entering. This is my first podcast, so the quality will increase as I familiarize myself with my voice, the material, and the software, (and my natural humor [ha!]). Feel free to comment and leave suggestions on the quality or future
