Talking Toastmasters

**Spotlight on some of our episodes from our first two years in 2021 and 2022!** Our first few guests helped get us started and then every guest thereafter helped gain momentum and keep our podcast going! With 29 episodes released in the first two years, it’s hard to feature just a few but that is my intent. All of the featured episodes cover a variety of topics and members. The intent is to showcase a few of our episodes from the first two years in the hope you will listen to it as well as others. This is the first in this ongoing series, Featured Episodes, throughout 2025. Episode #19, released in 2022, features Dr. Sherri Raftery, DTM4 PDG of MA, USA, a member of District 31 Toastmasters. https://lnkd.in/eDnhRSmT How apopros that we are dropping an episode featuring a woman on International Women's Day! This Featured Episodes series of 2021 and 2022 episodes is sponsored by our 2024 and 2025 Calendar Year Sponsor District 31 Toastmasters.
