Description

A podcast about speaking and performance. It's ADEQUATE, because I can't do perfect. The presenter is John-Paul Flintoff (me, the chap typing this sentence), author of seven books, published in 16 languages. One of them, A Modest Book About How To Make An Adequate Speech, was written after a mental health crisis - and I might talk about that sometimes. Find me at https://flintoff.org/
