Recent podcast appearances
In the last few weeks, I have made guest appearances on a couple of podcasts. Between the recent conference appearances and these podcasts, I spent May and June talking a lot about what I do ... it felt good to get back to being a Doer and not just a Talker, especially as the microphone end of podcasting is pretty new to me.
The skills for giving a good presentation at a conference and for being a good podcast guest are really different. Presentations are planned, focused on a single topic, can be visual. Podcasts are spontaneous, more like interviews, may cover a variety of topics, are aural, and (more) interactive.

In either format, I need to be careful to speak less about myself; and to confidently say something once and then to move on. I have a bit of a tendency to explain things three or four ways in the hopes of covering the bases when once is enough.

- On Teachers Teaching Teachers, talking about Gamestar Mechanic with teachers who have used it
- On Dice, Food, Lodging, talking about all sorts of things - Part 1 and Part 2
- On Dice, Food, Lodging again, trying to apply game dev software management wisdom to small teams developing tabletop RPG modules in a week
