Talks of our Time

From Winston Churchill’s ‘Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat’ to Steve Jobs’ ‘How to Live Before you Die’, history has proven time and time again that great speeches change lives. In this series, Alex Merry asks some of today’s tech titans, scientists, Olympians and comedians to share five talks that have inspired them on their journeys to creating change. Produced by Benedict Holzmann. For our final episode of the season we’re joined by the comedian Dave Chawner, who opens up on his battle with anorexia and discusses the unique position of comedy in tackling mental health issues.
