Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
Originally called "Uncanceled & Unplugged" this podcast was conceived at the outset of the Covid crisis in North America. Being a conference designer I knew a lot of people who had expected to be speaking at events in the subsequent months having them canceled or postponed. So I launched the podcast to provide them with an alternative platform.In August, several months into the pandemic, it was clear that most event organizers had shifted to virtual events and no one was getting canceled anymore.So the podcast has now become "Here Comes Everyone". The name reflects the huge variety of guests we've had in the last few months and the intention to focus a bit more on issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
POETRY NOT POWERPOINT Episode 1 - My co-host Kate and I discuss the craft of spoken word and our upcoming series featuring some amazing poets
POETRY NOT POWERPOINT is a new series of conversations published as part of the podcast Here Comes Everyone.
Co-hosted by Kate Jenkinson who is an executive coach and poet, each episode will feature a guest poet. The guest will share a piece of their work as well as a poem that has inspired and influenced them.
Together we will explore their approach to verse and spoken word and talk about the value that they as artists bring to their audiences particularly to businesses.
As The Conference Bard I firmly believe business events would benefit from featuring more poetry and fewer powerpoint presentations. My hope is that hearing directly from some outstanding poets will convince you of this as well
