There’s nothing quite like telling a great story live. These are a selection of talks I’ve given to academics, party-goers, conference attendees, church groups, businesses and civic associations. Each talk is tailored to the audience and venue but they share a respect for the material, in-depth research, and an approachable style that focuses on the shared humanity and humor.
