  • Moving Beyond Just Checking The Diversity Box
    Dec 5 2023

    For decades, speechwriting was a very white, male industry. In many ways, it still is. But that is starting to change, thanks to the hard work of a few key people. And when speechwriters better reflect the audience they are trying to reach, everyone wins.

    Michael Franklin is the co-founder and Executive Director of Speechwriters of Color and a brilliant speaker and writer in his own right. In this episode, he discusses how, when he first broke into the industry, there were very few people who looked like him — even though he knew the talent was out there.

    The Friendly Ghost is hosted by Felicity Barber of Thoughtful Communications. It is co-produced by N2 Communications and Jody Avirgan's Roulette Productions.

  • What A True Writing Partnership Looks Like
    Nov 27 2023

    Speechwriting and ghostwriting is, by definition, a behind-the-scenes job. Rarely do writers get their name attached to the words they craft, but any good speechwriter knows that the best work comes from true collaboration. On today’s episode we get a rare glimpse into a high-level speechwriting partnership from Oscar Muñoz and Brian DeSplinter.

    Oscar is the former CEO of United, and Brian is his longtime friend and writing partner. Over the years, and in his new memoir, Oscar has been very open about the relationship between the two, and how Brian’s writing helped him navigate an incredibly high-profile and high-stress position.

    Oscar's new book "Turnaround Time" -- written in collaboration with Brian! -- is available now.

    The Friendly Ghost is hosted by Felicity Barber of Thoughtful Communications. It is co-produced by N2 Communications and Jody Avirgan's Roulette Productions.
