Customer Reviews
An excellent collection.
A great podcast filled with some of the greatest speeches by people who shaped the World and History. Very few of us got hear great speakers such as JFK or Dr.King with their famous ground breaking speeches...so we get to hear it here and realize that no matter the time when it was spoken these speeches and so many others still reverberate in our age. I have only one complaint and that is that the Podcast doesn't have a broader spectrum of speeches from other great people from around the World. Something from Asia perhaps? Or South America? A more diverse collection would really be more enjoyable and attract more people. All in all a great way to learn history when it was made by the great speakers and leaders of our human history!
Nifty:)
This is really cool. I was a little disappointed though that I did'nt know more of the speaches though. Mabey a Winston Churchill speach or the broadcat from Neville Chamberland (excuse the spelling) that told England they were going to war. Just a thought.
More...
WINSTON CHURCHILL please!!
