If you’ve never attended a Toastmasters conference or convention, you don’t know what you’ve missed until you attend your first one - then you’re hooked. Why listen to me when you can hear from attendees themselves. Our Guests on today’s Toastcast: Ganga Dekka, Colt Discovery, just attended his first. Alex Neilson, New Entrepreneurs Toastmasters, attended 2, and the Idea Man himself, Bob Hooey Accredited Speaker and Past District Governor, who really can’t remember how many he attended. When you’re done, make sure you also listen to Volume 8 - the D42 Spring Convention. Listen and Enjoy [Vol#9]

It’s this time of the year where we think about resolutions. Many of us break them by Jan 15th. Perhaps we may be motivated by looking at our future instead of just the next 12 months. I had an incredible conversation with 1999 World Champion Craig Valentine.Please sit back and enjoy this special presentation. (28:44)

Inaugural Demo Podcast with Mona Cooley, DTM, District 42 Governor. Mona’s Theme for 2006-2007 is:
“Lead with Purpose
Communicate with Confidence”
I thought that it would be appropriate that the first one, specific for D42 should feature none other than the Rockin and Rollin’ DG herself. 
The benefit of a podcast is that it is something that people can listen to. While we strive for face to face communication we can’t do it 24/7. And while text, manuals and e-mails can often do the job to relay information, it’s nice to have something that can bridge the gap between the written and the in person. It’s also something people can listen to while they are doing something else. For extended Toastcaster episodes, people can listen to it in their cars or iPods. ….And thus the Toastcast.
Enjoy! Greg…
