Today's Hacks and Flaks is an education, education, education, as we find out what goes on behind the scenes to produce a political speech.
Whether it's supposed to be a rallying cry, resignation, or to talk pork markets, there are a myriad of purposes for them and reasons why they might be remembered.
And who better to hear from than the man with the fastest PM acceptance and resignation turnaround in recent history, Asa Bennett, who was speech writer for former British PM, Liz Truss.
As always, our host Petrie gets to the nub of the matter and finds out what a writer might do if the person giving the speech isn't blessed with natural charisma, or perhaps a penchant to bluster off-piste.
Regular panellist Andrew MacDougall is also on hand to provide some anecdotes from his own career, and the team also look at the winners and losers of political speeches of times gone by.
