Take the Mic Episode One: Welcome listeners! 

Hey everybody, Here's the first official episode of my podcast. It's a short introduction to the podcast - what it is, who it's for, and why I'm doing it. 

Talking to candidate Dina Friedman
Special Preview Episode
 
4-6-18

​Hi everybody, welcome to Take the Mic, the podcast for women who use speaking to change the world. This is a special preview episode featuring an interview with Dina Friedman, who is running for a very “New England-y” office: Town Moderator of Hadley, MA. If you want to get a glimpse of small town democracy in action, listen to this podcast. Dina and I do talk a lot about the race and the position for the first half of the interview.

In the second half of the interview, (around the 12:54 mark) we dig into the public speaking part  – what kind of speaking gigs are required - what are the fun ones and what are the challenges?  Dina is an experienced speaker and activist, but being a candidate brings lots of new speaking situations.  And one of them is the need to master the meet-and-greet “chit chat.” Dina talks about her strategy for dealing with tough questions and how to speak from the heart when you’re facing only a video camera.
