Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Fearless Public Speaking
Patrick King · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Joe Hempel
53/100
👎 Skip It
This narrows in specifically on speech anxiety rather than covering speech craft broadly, which helps if nerves are your main problem but leaves it thinner than a full presentation-skills book. It reads as fairly formulaic against King's other similar titles; Joe Hempel's narration is competent but doesn't elevate what's a fairly standard entry.
