General

The official podcast of Toastmasters International, hosted by Greg Gazin, DTM. We share real conversations about communication, confidence, and leadership — hundreds of episodes. Listen on the site (each episode page includes a player), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or via the site's RSS feed.

Email us at podcast@toastmasterspodcast.com — we aim to respond to routine questions within 2 business days. You can also reach us via the Contact page on the website.

Guests on the official Toastmasters Podcast are drawn from the pages of the Toastmaster magazine and are invited directly by Toastmasters International — there is no open application. However, any Toastmaster can be interviewed for free on Toastmaster Journeys, an independent companion podcast hosted by Vivian Reed. Visit the Get Interviewed page on this site to learn more and sign up.

Toastmaster Journeys is a free podcast open to any Toastmasters member who wants to share their story. Host Vivian Reed interviews members about their experiences — from their first Ice Breaker through contests and leadership roles. You record a relaxed conversation in your browser, and the team handles editing and publishing so you receive a finished, shareable episode. Toastmaster Journeys is produced by Archieboy Holdings, LLC and is not affiliated with Toastmasters International.
