The Toastmasters Podcast with Greg Gazin
The Toastmasters Podcast is like a radio talk show featuring interviews with Toastmasters usually featured in the Toastmaster magazine. The purpose of the podcast is to amplify the magazine - to dig deeper or to put a voice to a face or written wordBut unlike a radio show, a podcast is on the Internet, and available, for free, to anyone in the world with an Internet connection, and a connected device capable of playing audio. 250+ episodes are at ToastmastersPodcast.comThe Toastmasters Podcast is co-produced by Toastmasters International and Archieboy Holdings, LLC, for our global audience of Toastmasters and those interested in public speaking and leadership.
[30:08] On today's episode, we discuss Virtual Reality (VR)—what it is, why it's important, and how communicators, speakers, and professionals can use VR to enhance their communication, connection, and careers. You'll meet Melanie Stark, a Toastmaster and VR enthusiast who has facilitated events in VR with members of both Toastmasters and Rotary International. You'll also meet NYC-based entrepreneur Roberto DaCosta, the founder of CONINVR, a company that hosts weekly VR Networking and monthly trade shows in virtual reality.
Today's episode is a follow-up to Ryan's article which appears in the January 2022 issue of the Toastmaster, "Toastmasters Take Virtual to a New Reality: How some members are using virtual reality technology to improve communication skills."
