Other People’s Podcasts 0060 – Art Of Manliness: The Secrets of Public Speaking From History’s Greatest Orators

Learn to talk. It’s been a long time since I pimped it but if you can’t talk go find yourself a Toastmasters group to join.

Then again maybe not. These days Toastmasters are probably conducted via Zoom. If they meet in person you probably have to muzzle and social distance. Proof of Vaxx or negative Wuhan test required.

I just Googled for local Toastmaster groups. Yes, they have “hybrid zoom meetings.” And there are so many stock photos of POX on the website. How about we zoom all the POX? Right into the sun.

Despite the fact that public speaking remains an important and relevant skill in our modern age — you never know when you’ll need to give a toast at a wedding, pitch an idea at work, or champion a proposal at a city council meeting — most of us get very little instruction these days in how to do it effectively.

Fortunately, my guest says, we can look to the great orators of the past to get the public speaking education we never received. His name is John Hale, and he’s professor of archeology as well the lecturer of The Great Courses course Art of Public Speaking: Lessons from the Greatest Speeches in History. Today on the show, John shares what we can learn about the physicality of public speaking from Demontheses of Athens, the importance of empathetic body language from Patrick Henry, the effective use of humor from Will Rogers, the power of three from the apostle Paul, and the potency of brevity and well-executed organization from Abraham Lincoln.
