In this episode, Mary serves up the insights that speechwriters can draw from cooking shows (with a special thanks to speechwriter Sarah Gruen for inspiring the theme). Mary starts with broad speechwriting lessons, like following a structure, to the sausage-making of various rhetorical devices and how to avoid fallacies when making logical arguments. 

The New York Times article that Mary references during the show can be found here: “Some Obama Enemies Are Made Totally of Straw.”
