Ultraspeaking, Sleepwalking & Delia Smith

In episode #9 of My Perfect Sunday, Sean and Tom sit down to chat absolute nonsense and occasionally stumble into something deep. Expect to learn the correct way to enter a sauna, why sleepwalking runs in Sean’s family (and what he did in his mate’s laundry basket), why most speeches fall apart in the last ten seconds, how Ultraspeaking’s games are helping Sean beat his fear of public speaking, the Leslie Nielsen film that’s a full parody of The Fugitive, why Guillermo del Toro’s Hobbit never happened, why communities are making a comeback, Delia Smith’s “Let’s be having you” and much more… 🎤 What’s Ultraspeaking? It’s an online public speaking school that trains you with improv games instead of scripts. We play three of them in this episode: random topic, intensity 1 to 10, and rapid-fire analogies.
