OOC: Welcome back, Josh!
Everyone say hello to your newest speech teacher, Joshua Lyman. He's thrilled to be here again!
...he'll be slightly less thrilled once he sees the pink pony and her party cannon.
Josh is coming in post-canon for The West Wing, which means he was the Deputy Chief of Staff for President Bartlet for eight years, then Chief of Staff for President Santos for four. This makes Josh (*sob*) in his early fifties now, so his hair has receded more, but his dimples are still pretty prominent. He's also, yes, still as convinced he's brilliant and always right as he's ever been. He's back to teaching because he's a little burned out on the 24/7-never sleeping-never seeing Donna thing but he refuses to become a consultant. Ugh, consultants.
Speech class will cover various places where people will find themselves speaking in public, so in addition to speeches where he gives you the topic in advance and debates where he'll also give you the topic in advance, he will be chosing one lucky sucker every week to become the press secretary, stand behind the rostrum, and make up answers to whatever questions their classmates might be throwing at them.
Mine is an evil laugh.
I'm looking for one or two Donnas TA's Josh will call Donna to help Josh corral what will hopefully be a very interactive class. If you're interested in volunteering, toss your name into ye olde screened comments section of this post!
