The article was written by Nayomi Reghay on Jan. 5, 2017. The author writes this article to show how the “This Week Had Me Like” podcasts are good for people to listen to when there are so many problems in our country today. The beginning of the article holds more of an argument than end by getting right to the point and telling the readers how listening to the podcasts can make you feel better in light of current events. Reghay’s overall goal is to get more people to start listening to the podcasts that will make them laugh and be happier. The article starts with “In a world of bitter daily news, This Week Had Me Like tastes like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles”. Therefore, while getting her point across she creates a jovial tone in her writing. Her jovial tone comes from the diction she uses such as “Fruity Pebbles” and “colorful” which both show that the podcasts have a bright outlook in life instead of a “somber” one, which is another word the author uses to describe current events. The word “somber” was specifically used as a way to describe the recent political climate. Reghay the adds to this example by describing this “saddening” event and entering into her article how the post election podcasts included Ivanka Trump who attempted the mannequin challenge which appealed to pathos by adding to her readers humorous side. Reghay also provides funny pictures from Caroline Goldfarb, the creator of the viral OfficialSeanPenn Instagram. Providing these pictures also helps appeal to the Reghay’s credibility by giving not only the person she got the memes from but the place as well, instagram. Although Reghay very clearly states many times that Goldfarb is humorous in her podcasts and find the good in a bad situation she also“never hesitate to point out the absurd, but they aren’t ripping anyone to shreds”. Then at the end of the article Nayomi Reghay states a powerful quote about what the podcast is all about “The podcast is a wonderful reminder that there is so much beauty left in the world. You just have to know where to find it.”
