Episode description

Lars wants a less demanding way to prepare for giving talks, but he doesn't have the time right now.

Andreas knows a cheat code for public speaking. Lars uses slides like a blunt instrument.

How should you wield your slides? How do you weigh information content against entertainment value? Should you try to reach precisely everyone with your talk? Many slides, or few? Lars has the questions, and some of the answers, at least for himself.


Last but not least, Lars reveals his current way of preparing for talks. It ideally involves getting quite bored.
