I like these roughly monthly podcasts as they have good sound quality and are interesting but I would really like to see some speeches from people who are not american politicians for example churchill, ghandi, Stephen Hawking etc, all of whos speeches are available at the website this podcast comes from... why not release them in these podcasts then?
All great speeches are American!

This is a great idea for a podcast but a shame that the creators of it are so narrow in their outlook that they couldn't think to include a single speech by anyone that wasn't American.
Great speeches of America, not history

Grinds your gears

Good speeches but completely American and no Churchill, Hitler, Ghandi etc etc but why would you expect American's to pretend anyone else has history?
Amazing
