"Listen to the song here in my heart. A melody I start, but can't complete. Listen to the sound from deep within, it's only beginning to find release." - Beyonce

Hello, I'm the host or Oracy And Beyond, Al Booth. I always like to start these notes with a quote from the guest featured in the episode. In this episode, however, my first six guests are all here to share their stories of the time a child shone through Oracy.

In every episode of the podcast I ask my guest to share a story of the moment a child found their voice through Oracy.

And in each episode, each guest shares an incredible story of how a child who lacked confidence, who couldn't share their thoughts or feelings verbally... then did so.

And they did it because my guests had a passion for helping them do just that through Oracy.

My guests in this episode are:

Michelle Windridge

Caroline Hudson

Louise Pickering

Peter Munroe

Bob Coenraats

Laura Brogan

And a tiny bit about me...

I'm Al. I am a broadcaster, podcast producer for education brands, and a live event host.

I'm also a panel host which, through the years, has mainly been for celebrity panels and TV shows. But now I am keen to be involved with more education panels.

If you think I can help you, please email me: [email protected]
