Rhetorical Roots and Media Future is a multimodal project exploring podcasting as a part of a writing class. The text has two main components: a hypertextual webtext and a seven episode podcast series. The podcasts provide both a basic introduction to podcasting as a classroom activity and the ways in which podcasting provides new ways of engaging and shaping the canon of classical rhetoric, as well as the rhetorical skills that are foundational for good writing practice.

The practical, "how-to" companion to the more theoretically-oriented webtext in the Topoi section, Podcasting in a Writing Class? similarly provides a hypertext and series of podcasts—this time focusing on the construction and implementation of podcast assignments for writing courses.
