e184 - What People Want to Learn Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

As a presenter-trainer-host, what makes for a good experience for attendees to want to listen and learn something? We leave aside non-educational reasons for attending events and focus on what people want to learn and get out of training presentations. Being presentation designers and trainers we admittedly wander into the PowerPoint and stage craft of presenting - and it is a great conversation!

Whatever Happened to TED? Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Episode #180. Technology, Entertainment, Design - TED, ideas worth spreading. TED talks provide an amazing platform for presenters. The organization has made quality presentation skills and presentation design a factor to be considered in all presentations. Our conversation today is that for the three of us, it feels as though the age of the TED Talk has diminished. We are revisiting TED talks and sharing our favorite talks, old and new, what talks we have been involved with, and where TED is today.

Dissecting "The Great PowerPoint Panic of 2003" Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

Episode #179 - The recently released article in The Atlantic, "The Great PowerPoint Panic of 2003," is the basis for a great conversation about how presentation design has evolved and PowerPoint was doomed. The article starts with "Twenty years later, the Great PowerPoint Panic reads as both a farce and a tragedy." How could we NOT have a conversation about this and look back at Edward Tufte's (in)famous pamphlet, "The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint in 2003."
