The Freenoter Trailer Blooper Reel
The Freenoter
11/11/19 • 2 min
It may have taken Tom and Tamsen between 100 and 200 takes to record their first 2-minute trailer for The Freenoter. Luckily, some of their greatest "misses" are captured here, in the inaugural Freenoter Blooper Reel. You'll hear some cringeworthy singing, meet Phlegmmy, and hear Tamsen call Tom a giant LIAR.

The Problem of The Problem (AKA The Duckbunny)
The Freenoter
01/14/20 • 33 min
On this week's episode of The Freenoter, Tom and Tamsen dissect the problem of...the problem. As speakers, we hope to solve a problem for our audience--but often, their version of the problem and our version of the problem are different! This episode will teach you to reframe, adapt, and deliver true value. Show notes: Tamsen's post on reframing the problem: https://tamsenwebster.com/what-is-your-problem-or-rather-what-is-theirs/ The "duckbunny": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit%E2%80%93duck_illusion Jay Baer's speaking website: https://www.jaybaer.com/ Convince and Convert: https://www.convinceandconvert.com/ Jay's great Hug Your Haters keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD0QsI8sajw A history of the Sazerac: http://www.sazerac.com/cocktail.aspx Our Sazerac: Pour 1 tsp simple syrup into a glass. Add 4 dashes of Peychaud's bitters and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Add 2 oz. rye (we used Templeton). Fill glass with ice and stir a few times. In another (cold) glass, add a teaspoon of absinthe (you could substitute Pernod here--we used Kübler Verte Suisse, which could take the chrome off a bumper.) Swirl to coat the inside of the glass completely; dump out the remaining liquid. Strain the cocktail from glass one into glass two. Add a lemon twist. Enjoy responsibly--this one's potent!

In this week's episode of The Freenoter, we examine one of the most important aspects of freenoting: the audience, and how much you should tailor your talk to each event. We also spotlight a speaker who always customizes for her audience, and we ring in the holidays with the most festive of beverages, the Champagne Cocktail. Note: The Freenoter is taking a holiday break! Look for our next episode on January 7th.

Soak cube in Angostura bitters. Fill flute with champagne/prosecco. Garnish with a citrus twist. For an extra kick, add an ounce of cognac. Speak with affected Upper East Side accent. Flare pinky out while holding glass. Look down on those consuming "punch" around you. Pretend you read Noam Chomsky. Leave party early.

On this week's episode, we talk about slides! We love them, we hate them, we need them. And we look at the work of Joey Coleman, who has a unique take on using slides in his talks. And finally, we rename a classic cocktail: The Slidecar! Bob Hope and Bing Crosby's "Road" movies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_... The Road to Hana: https://roadtohana.com/ Chris Anderson: https://www.ted.com/speakers/chris_anderson_ted Edward Tufte: https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/ Joey Coleman: https://joeycoleman.com/ The Slidecar: 2 oz. brandy or cognac 1 oz. Cointreau 1/2 oz. Lemon Juice Shaken over ice and strained into a coupe or martini glass. The classic sidecar has a sugared rim, but this is a Slidecar and we are bitter, so NO SUGAR.

To TED Or Not To TED? (AKA Injured By A Toilet)
The Freenoter
03/10/20 • 37 min
On this week's episode of The Freenoter, we look at TED/TEDx talks - are they worth it for freenoters? What makes a great TED-style talk, and why they may or may not be right for you. We also look at one of the TEDxCambridge speakers Tamsen worked with, Andrew Lo, and what goes on behind the scenes during a TEDx event. And we debut an original-ish cocktail, the tequila-based Spectre.

Cointreau pinch of table salt Stir over ice in a cocktail mixer and strain into a coupe. Slice off a thick, coin-sized hunk of lime rind (catch a little lime flesh with it) and squeeze it over the drink. Remember not to be fooled by Le Chiffre's twitching eye.
