Speaking in public when you've never done it before

In this episode we consider how non-politicians, many of whom have important experiences and ideas to impart, make their voices heard in the political arena.

What is it that makes people feel unconfident about speaking in public? How can these fears be overcome? Why is it is important for every voice to count?

To discuss this, Professor Stephen Coleman is joined by Dr Sarah Weston, formerly of the University of Manchester and now at Queen’s University Belfast.
