Customer Reviews
Um, are you aware that people outside America may have made one or two "great speeches" too?
Yes, it's true. It turns out that other people - Greeks, Romans, Indians, Russians, the French - dash it all, even the English - may have made one or two remarks that some people believe qualify as passable examples of fairly decent oratory.
I know, shocking, isn't it? Perhaps you might be able to find them by, oh, I don't know, perhaps looking up a somewhat less horrendously biased source as your podcasts?
