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.
[19:43] Greg speaks with Paul Clark, a historian and author who has researched early Toastmasters history, some of which he shares with us to commemorate the organization's 90th year.
Paul talks about Toastmasters founder Ralph Smedley as well as the formation of the first Toastmasters club. He also discusses Toastmasters-related historical documents that he discovered in a Southern California library.
Paul grew up in Orange County, California, where the Toastmasters organization was founded in 1924. He has been a member since 1985.
