The Friendly Ghost w/ Felicity Barber

Conversations about the art of speechwriting with Felicity Barber and some of the top speechwriters in the game.

What does it take to be a top speechwriter? In the first episode of “The Friendly Ghost,” we meet Chandler Dean and Sarah Gruen of “West Wing Writers.” They discuss the not-so-typical path most writers take to speechwriting, what it’s like to write for someone whose politics may differ from your own, and reflect on how the industry has been shaped by technological and societal change over the years.
