Oracy and beyond is created and hosted by Al Booth - Broadcaster, Conference Host and Communication Specialist supporting schools and trusts to find and share their confident, authentic voices.

Work With Me

Oracy And Beyond is a podcast that was born out of a desire to help young people find confidence through communication... and a curiosity around how I could help make that happen.

With 25+ years as a broadcaster, event host and panel moderator (after a childhood of being shy and un-confident) my goal is to help share these conversations on stages and in schools too.

Some conversations have even led to Oracy being how we achieve world peace... but one step at a time.

Throughout almost 3 decades in BBC and commercial radio & TV broadcasting and live hosting - and now as host of the Oracy And Beyond podcast - I match professionalism with a passionate curiosity.

Alongside the podcast, I work with schools, APs, trusts and education organisations to help leaders and educators use their voice with clarity, confidence and authenticity — whether in classrooms, on stage, or across their organisation.

All of this is based on the simple but brilliant fact:

Oracy IS Equity

If you’re thinking about how to strengthen voice and communication where you work, I’d love to start a conversation.
