Winston Churchill Speeches and Radio Broadcasts

Do Your Worst We Do Our Best

English · History, Politics

Hear Winston Churchill deliver a wartime address in the direct, forceful style that made his radio speeches a defining part of Britain’s public life during the Second World War. His words address listeners amid the conflict, offering resolve and a call to meet danger with determination.

Churchill’s speeches are spoken broadcasts rather than dramatic scenes: the focus is on his voice, carefully shaped phrases, and the urgency of the message. The title, “Do Your Worst—We Do Our Best,” captures the defiant spirit of the address and its emphasis on endurance in the face of adversity.

This recording offers a close encounter with a historic public speaker at work. Its appeal lies in the immediacy of the spoken word and in hearing the conviction and rhetorical force with which Churchill sought to encourage his audience.
