About

How I Found My Voice is the podcast that explores how some of the world’s greatest artists and thinkers became such compelling – and unique – communicators. This Intelligence Squared podcast goes behind the celebrity persona to understand their journeys and inspirations – from writing a childhood diary to first performing on stage or finding the courage to speak up. Hosted by the BBC journalist Samira Ahmed, guests include Michael Palin, Richard Branson, Naomi Klein, Philip Pullman, Katherine Ryan, Jess Philips and Fatima Bhutto. The series producer is Farah Jassat and Season 2 is proudly supported by The Out.
