The podcast that I chose to use is a portion of Glenn Becks radio show. It is a description of how a Canadian could not get proper health care in Canada, so he had to come to America. It is shorter than what we will be doing, but it is close to what I would like to imitate. I believe that taking my paper and making it into a conservative radio show like audio essay, it will be easier to create a strong argument.

Glenn uses a lot of different strategies within his speech. His voice will change tones, and has some very important pauses. It allows him to show the importance of somethings, and the less important parts of others. Those that listen to the radio show are more likely to agree with him, so he can introduce humor about those that disagree with him to bring the audience in even more.
I hope to be able to learn from this example. I know that I will not be able to utilize every strategy that Glenn Beck does, however, I may be able to incorporate his style to make my argument stronger. The strategies especially important will be knowing when to pause, and also what information to include, and what information to leave out.
