Welcome back to the PolicyViz Podcast! With my book on presentations about to launch, I’m very excited to talk with one of the authors who inspired my work in this area, Garr Reynolds. If you’ve ever thought carefully about how to design and deliver presentations, you have probably heard of Garr and his Presentation Zen approach. In this week’s episode, we talk about his process to create and develop a presentation, his presentation philosophy, and which presentation tools he likes. We also spend a bit of time talking about Star Wars because, well, Star Wars is awesome.

Thanks again for tuning in! If you enjoyed this week’s show, please share it and leave a rating on iTunes. Ratings and reviews are much appreciated and very important in the iTunes ranking algorithm–the most ratings, the better chance of others finding the show.
