Episode 43: Jeremy Carson

Jeremy Carson competed back in the early 2000s for Cal State Long Beach, then coached both CSULB and Fullerton High School speech teams for 5 years after that. Along with a decent amount of finals in both interps and platforms, a three-year run as the Top Speaker in California, and a few Top 10 National Speaker Awards at AFA and NFA, his crowning achievement was when Jeremy and his sister became the first-ever brother/sister Duo to win at AFA while he was a senior and his sister was a freshman. When Jeremy left speech, some said a part of forensics died. Not many people said that. Mostly he did. And his mom.

In this episode, Robert and Jeremy discuss the ways in which speech impacts graphic design, what it’s like to win a national championship in Duo with your little sister, and how coaches from other teams can sometimes be the biggest impact on your pieces.  Listen for free through Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay, Overcast, Podbean, Spotify, iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I mean, doesn’t he just LOOK like he’s in control of his audience?
