The blizzard Stella strands your host in New York City, causing him to miss his appointed slot on the SXSW podcasting stage. Jetlagged, but determined, he gathers the audio shards of the on-the-spot interviews and audio soliloquies he collected during SXSWedu the week before and listens. It turns out some very interesting ideas about interactivity and design and taking advantage of opportunities to tell your story emerge. Why are we not working harder at being innovative speakers at events like these? How do you interview a robot for a podcast? Why are people wearing so many khakis? All good questions, answered in this episode. (Originally published March 30, 2017)
