Listening to podcasts is one of the best ways to multitask – you learn something new at the same time as you can tick off your to-dos. There are thousands of podcasts out there, but over the years I’ve built up a favorite podcast list covering PowerPoints, presenting and public speaking.
I love podcasts – they are like music to my ears. I always make sure I have a great playlist of podcast episodes ready when I go on my powerwalks or when I know I will spend a lot of time in the car or travel. I listen to a lot of different podcasts on different subjects but my favorites are podcasts about own passions. I only wish there were more dedicated podcasts to the actual craft of creating presentations and PowerPoints – most are focusing on giving presentations and speeches).
These are my favorite ones that cover PowerPoint, presenting, public speaking (in random order):
