Note on this podcast: Bo screwed up with some of the sound effects, and we were planning on editing it out, but it was way too funny, so we left it in.

Have you heard of FreeToastHost before? Over 50% of all Toastmasters have. Join Bo and Ryan as they interview Bo (the creator of FTH) and listen to Ryan put Bo in the hotseat with "3 Questions". And dead birds??? Well, you will just have to listen to this episode to find out what that is all about.

How can I overcome stage fright? What can I do to engage and connect with an audience? We've all asked those questions. In fact, some of us are still looking for answers (especially that first one, eh?)! Search no more! Professional speaker and public speaking coach Eric Feng joins us from Singapore today share his insights on these and other questions...and to tell us about his new book, The FAQ Book on Public Speaking.
Listen in as Bo throws Eric on the HOTSEAT as a gameshow contestant (remember what we did to poor Margaret Page in Episode #8 ?). Can Bo Bennett stump "Fearless FAQ Feng"?
Special Bonus: I'll bet you don't have an embarrassing speaking story that'll top the one Eric shared with us. Hint: it has to do with a wireless microphone in the restroom before going onstage!
(By the way, if you DO have a story that's just as embarrassing...or even close...share it with us! Maybe we'll even have you on the show!)
About our guest: A professional speaker and public speaking coach, at only 25 years old, Eric already has 5 books under his belt! His latest book, The FAQ Book on Public Speaking, written in a Q&A format, features expert advice and insight from Eric and his co-authors. As a celebrated Toastmaster in Singapore, Eric has won numerous national level speech competitions. In 2005, he won the championship title for the Division Level Humorous Contest in Philadelphia, United States. Two years later, he clinched the First Place Trophy for the International Speech Contest at Division Level. As acknowledgement for his speaking achievements, The Straits Times featured him as one of the top 25 alternate achievers of 2006.
