Toastcaster is a communication and leadership learning lab — a place where ideas are explored out loud.
Some episodes come From the Page, expanding on articles and written work. Others come From the Stage, capturing talks, presentations, and live conversations. You’ll also hear episodes From the Bookshelf, featuring authors and big ideas worth unpacking, and From Curiosity, where culture, technology, and everyday moments become lenses for better communication and leadership.
There’s no single format — just a shared intent: to explore how the way we communicate shapes how we lead, connect, and make sense of the world.

I was asked to give a Toast (Special Occasions Speech Manual Project #1) and decided I would combine the honouring of our Sergeant at Arms along with a mini educational for the benefit of new member and guests so not only can they see how a Toast works, they get to know a little about what a Sergeant at Arms does and what they could get from taking on that role. Cheers! (03:32)

Told by Donna Smith, ACB, CL, it's an entertaining and inspiring tale in the form of a familiar holiday poem, that captures the true spirit of Toastmasters and its founder, Ralph Smedley. It also follows the events that unfold as a Toastmaster prepares for the Icebreaker speech. She did receive credit for the Advanced Manual - Storytelling.
Donna also speaks with Greg and shares her thoughts that went in to this presentation and how Toastmasters has helped her catch her second wind. What a nice way to end on year and begin the next. Donna is with Morning Challengers a club from Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada.

This monodrama is an unlikely meeting between Paul & Yoko that would have taken place in December 2006. Only an interpreted version of Paul's voice is heard. Yoko's is implied. A monodrama is where only one person speaks to another person seemingly in the room, compared to a soliloquy where the person is talking to himself.
Interpretive Reading is one of the 15 advanced Toastmasters manuals. Not every project is a typical speech.
