    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Schoenfeldt, Co-Chair Professor Tiya A. Miles Professor Valerie J. Traub Kyle C. Grady [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-2725-8127 © Kyle C. Grady 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have found more dedicated mentors than I have in my co-chairs, Michael Awkward and Michael Schoenfeldt, each of whom promised to advise this dissertation before I took my first class at the University of Michigan. This project is the result of countless lunches with Michael Awkward and innumerable conversations with Michael Schoenfeldt. For the last six years, Michael and Mike have been constant sources of wisdom, motivation, and support. Michael Awkward fostered the experimental aspects of this project with his incisive and innovative intellect. I could not be more grateful for his guidance in challenging times, which made all the difference. Mike Schoenfeldt’s erudition and enthusiasm deeply enriched each of this project’s investigations. His prowess as a scholar is matched only by his commitment as a teacher and advisor, and I have benefitted immensely from his endless encouragement through the highs and lows of this process. I have been incredibly fortunate in having Valerie Traub and Tiya Miles on my committee. Valerie provided invaluable feedback on every aspect of this project. Her careful attention to her students’ work and encyclopedic knowledge of early modern studies is a source of inspiration.

I analyze five episodes of one podcast, Stuff You Should Know and use its transcriptions to code for themes of identification, conversation practices, and authenticity to suggest ways PSR is developed by the podcast’s hosts. Results found host behaviors suggest how listeners may react to them. The combination of the effect of social deixis while describing personal characteristics suggest listeners may feel physically and emotionally closer to the hosts. Listeners may also see them as more trustworthy because the hosts care for listeners’ wellbeing.

  • Alt-Nation: 300 Episodes of Agreeing to Disagree: the Chuck and Brad Podcast and Other Shows
    Alt-Nation: 300 Episodes of Agreeing to Disagree: The Chuck and Brad Podcast and Other Shows I’ve always admired people who organized enough to keep track of how many times they do something. Personally, I can’t. I couldn’t tell you if the amount of columns I’ve written is closer to 100 or 500. Chuck Staton (from the punk band Senior Discount) and Brad Rohrer (Providence Improv Guild player) who do the popular podcast Agreeing to Disagree are much better at that stuff. They are about to celebrate doing 300 podcasts, and that is a lot! Certainly more podcasts than I have listened to or will probably ever listen to. Agreeing to Disagree has featured loads of musicians, comedians and other artists for some hysterical moments. In recent years Chuck and Brad have started doing their podcasts in front of a live audience where one never knows what zaniness awaits. In advance of their 300th podcast, which will be held at Fete on May 7, I poised a few to Mr. Staton and Mr. Rohrer. Marc Clarkin: What do you remember about the first podcast?
