Interesting but it's becoming clear that this podcast is really designed to create traffic and drive it towards media where sales can be made. There is never enough detail to actually improve your public speaking in the podcasts, just hints of how to do it.

Even though I'm a portuguese speaker, Lisa's tips are so simple and clean that they can be applyed to most languages. THe good thing about her podcast is it's simplicity. It's short, objective and has tips that you can actually use. Instead of making up 12 easy steps to be a public speaker, Lisa introduces new tips every time, wich you can slowly introduce to your everyday routine. Really worth trying
