About This Podcast
The purpose of this channel is to reanimate historic speeches by reading and performing them aloud, giving a voice once again to the words that changed our world.
To truly appreciate these speeches, we must understand the world they were spoken in. That is why we dive deep into the high stakes and complex backgrounds of each moment, ensuring that when the speech begins, you aren’t just listening to a text, you are experiencing it as if you were there.
Together, we investigate the history behind them, the arguments within them, and the consequences that followed.
