Episode description
The timing of this interview is kismet, because it’s coming at the heels of one of the biggest speeches we all (or a lot of us) tune into – the State of the Union address. This episode as its title may have hinted at walks through how speechwriters in the political space operate, what their process is, and how they coordinate with other communications team members. And best yet, this walk-through happens courtesy of renowned political speech writer, Christopher Huntley. If you’re an Elizabeth Warren fan, you’ve definitely heard his speeches, and he gives us the tea on which his favorite is and why. We also discuss how to get into speech writing and what that looks like for aspiring political professionals. And as a former member of team Barbara Lee, we get his POV on the soon-to-be Senate brawl of a primary setting itself up in CA.
