I had an opportunity yesterday to be interviewed by lawyers, bloggers and Mac Power users David Sparks and Katie Floyd for their Mac Power Users podcast on the 5 x 5 podcast network. Our subject was Presentation Skills and workflow, and Keynote gets a good mention as well as some of the other tooks I use.
You can hear and the podcast and note links to items mentioned here: http://5by5.tv/mpu/111
The podcast is more than 90 mins and I hope you enjoy. Feedback and questions welcomed. You’ll hear us occasionally walk over each other and me do more than my customary “ums and “ahs” due to the nature of Skype audio (I’m in Australia and they’re in the US on the west and east coast).
Les,
Really enjoyed your tips on Katie and David’s Mac Power Users podcast. Looking forward to learning more from your blog. Very engaging stuff!

You’re welcome, Dave.
Keep exploring, I’ll be putting up more special effects for Keynote users in the next little while.

I listened to it today and though the show was great. Very useful information about being the presenter, along with a lot of technical information about making the presentation stand out. Thanks!
Just listened to this podcast today (as it is a topic that I am very interested in) and really enjoyed it. There were a lot of great tips/tricks that I am adding to my own presentation bag.
As a medical educator, I too am on the mission to try and change the culture in presentations. I really liked your comment about people using slideware programs as a knowledge transfer tool, rather than for presentations. Well said!
You’re welcome, Bob. I’m working on a new blog entry featuring the biggest mistakes scientists make when presenting. Quite different from business presentation errors.
Regards
Les
