Saturday, June 29th 11 am – 7 pm The Centre for Social Innovation, New York https://www.intelligentspeechconference.com/shop/

Podcasts entertain and inform millions of people every day. Coming through our headphones, podcasters are like friends joining us as we go about our daily routines and sometimes they’re even the last voice we hear at night as we put head to pillow. For years podcasts have been DIY labors of love but as the industry becomes increasingly dominated by celebrity personalities, professional broadcasters and large corporate production houses, in many places independent voices are being drowned out. But the Agora Podcast Network remembers what the beating heart of the podcast medium really is and so is proud to be the home of shows that are lovingly created in homes or sheds, places full of life and improvisation rather than sterile studios. Its proud to have hosts with individual voices of diverse opinion, discussing topics spanning history and politics, culture, literature and science. With over a million curious and discerning listeners downloading Agora podcasts each month, the proof of this winning formula is in the pudding.

Saturday, June 29, 2019 for an event that will bring together many of internet’s best podcasters for a day of live podcast recordings, open tables, Q and As and seminars at The Centre for Social Innovation, Chelsea in New York. It’s an opportunity for listeners to meet the creators of some of their favourite podcasts and to maybe even get on mic.

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American statesman and lawyer who served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through the American Civil War—its bloodiest war and perhaps its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernised the economy.

Born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana. Largely self-educated, he became a lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, and was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives, in which he served for eight years.

Sarada Peri is a speechwriter and communications strategist. She was Special Assistant to the President and Senior Speechwriter for President Barack Obama. Prior to joining the White House, she was a Principal at West Wing Writers, where she worked with corporate, political and nonprofit clients on speechwriting, speech delivery, op-eds, books, and message strategy. She was also a member of the 2012 and 2016 Democratic National Convention speechwriting teams.

As the political season heated up in the fall of 2015, the rhetoric against minorities and immigrants got ugly. Many people, including the White House, were concerned and even fearful. So when President Obama was asked to speak at a naturalization ceremony at the National Archives, we speechwriters saw an opportunity. On this episode she discusses the speech she wrote for President Obama and what it meant for her.

Steve VGuerra Given that it was a definitely possible that McKinley could have survived, what would have happened to TR?

It’s hard not to think that TR would be against some domestic tenants of the Trump administration as he was against Trusts and pro conservation is his reputation as a Trust Buster deserved?

Joe Jamsky I mostly just want to know how racist, and religious every president was, his impact on Natives and such?

New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes was potentially a candidate to follow TR in 1908 who shared Roosevelt's progressivism, but Roosevelt disliked him and considered him to be too independent, why?

The 1912 primaries represented the first extensive use of the presidential primary, why was this important for the progressive movement?

Why did TR run as a third party candidate in 1912?

Brent Hamoud What role did Elliot play?

Niall Gargan I'd be interested to know a bit more about TR's relationship with FDR. Mostly looking at the reason why they are from opposing political parties. I know the old story that FDR ran as a Democrat simply because he said they asked to run for them in the state senate. I'm wondering how true this is or if the two family factions had a bigger part. I would have thought that FDR would have followed the same political ideology or had TR's troubles with the Republican Party in latter year dissuaded him from joining them?

James R. Early If Roosevelt had survived long enough to run for president in 1920, do you think he would have won?

If he had won in 1920 would he have continued the US isolationist policy after WW1?

Joe Jamsky I would be curious to know if Roosevelt said anything interesting about the second amendment?

Joe Jamsky Which president would win a WWE royal rumble?

Brent Hamoud have we overlooked TR’s mind?

Adam Vonnahme When was he happiest?

Adam Vonnahme What was his legacy?
