Right out of the napkin holder: a study of structure

Depicting my podcast emulation was a task I found particularly hard--and I'm a fine arts student! The technique of depicting the podcast structure through illustration is not one that I found particularly helpful for outlining our program.

Here my diagram features three steps, related to out three steps of research. The diagonal lines represent our initial research questions we ask at the beginning of our program to engage the reader and introduce our focus. Reaching each 'step' we see a list; a list of the facts we have gathered thus far. Each rise in the graph builds off the last set of research questions,'up to our questioning if humour can fairly, properly, accurately depict the news.

With that in mind I ask, can a napkin accurately depict a podcast program?

I think if we were to depict On the Media in a diagram, it would be far more linear and horizontal. I see (or hear, if we are being technical) OTM as being a regurgitation of the facts, with little argumentation applied. On the one hand, the show lets the audience criticize and as the questions, but reversely, sometimes we need someone to point out the critical questions.

In episode 102 "Icon for Access" of 99% Invisible, I counted 24 citations in the program.
