I discovered Michael Moore’s podcast ‘Rumble’ over the weekend and whilst cooking soup on a Saturday morning, I listened to his latest episode, which was about Flint, Michigan USA. I didn’t realise that Michael was born in Flint. That explains why he covered it in his movie Fahrenheit 11/9 and why he’s so passionate about what’s been done to the folks who live in Flint. Well ‘exist’ more likely, because it sounds like a lot of them don’t have much of a life any longer, thanks to the Rick Snyder and his gang.
It’s all in your hands!

An episode with a difference. We share some of our own current stories from our world in public speaking and storytelling. Some of the topics we will be touching on include, Vanessa Van Edwards and Captivate, Harry Truman, past president of the USA, the brand new documentary on Amazon Prime ‘Rocketman’, the lucky golfer Gary Player, Donald Trump and his hands, the analysis of hundreds of TED talks and why they went viral, the use of #hashtags for your stories on social media, especially Linkedin.
Next month we will be back with our analysis of an amazing speech from the movies, which will be from the movie V for Vendetta.
Thanks for listening and until next time. 🎈👇
