Both presentation and content make this podcast a must listen. Speeches are well chosen and explained by Tony. They inspire better public speaking while helping us learn more about the world .
… and for sharing the song at the end. Tears flowed…
A bulwark against the mediocre nay, crapulous spoken words festering in the media today.
Interesting, beautifully presented, immensely eclectic stories. Major speeches. Minor players speaking great truths. Passionate !
Support this great podcast. Donate and keep the greatness going - or just go back to mediocre claptrap. Your choice, comrades.

Enjoyable and educational listen every time
