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.
[24:16] In Part 2 of Toastmasters 100, Chief Executive Officer Daniel Rex returns as our special guest. This time, Dan joins us to discuss the organization's centennial celebrations and how World Headquarters has compiled a variety of resources and action items to help you explore, celebrate, and learn from the past 100 years of Toastmasters history. You'll also hear personal stories that may enlighten, inspire, or even make you laugh.
Dan will also tell us about Toastmasters' book Confident Voices: The Story of Toastmasters. It’s a beautifully crafted, 454-page hardcover full of photos, maps, historical illustrations, and so much more.
For those who enjoy consuming media in a video format, we'll hear about the new 45-minute documentary, 100 Years of Confident Voices. This video also explores Toastmasters history, but in a different way than the book. It's free and available to watch on YouTube, and there's a 2-minute trailer to give you a taste.
For October 2024, The Toastmaster Magazine makes a special one-time return to print with a special 56-page commemorative edition. Highlights include:
- 100 Table Topics prompts inspired by Toastmasters history
- 5 pages of suggestions for ways your club can celebrate
