Choose an episode of the WUNC podcast Embodied. There are over a dozen (2 seasons) so pick one that interests you. Then listen (taking notes) and write up an analytical review.
The analytical review will be 2-4 pages (double spaced). It include a paragraph or two of synopsis. This summary should get the reader up to speed on who the speakers were and what they argued. Then expand your review to address the following questions and draw examples from the episode (this is why you should take notesso you can quote or paraphrase from the conversation with clear citations).
Questions to help guide your analysis (not all of these must be answered):
– What is the thesis of the episode and what is one example used to highlight this argument?
– How does gender impact the topic of the episode? What about sexuality?
– Did the episode address structures of power and inequity, if so, how? And if not, how might they?
– What questions did this episode raise for you? Did it connect to observations you have of the world around you?
