Hmm, public speaking. At it's worst when you know that most of the people who are listening aren't interested. Like when you give a presentation about a project you have done, but the audience has done the same project and also has to give a presentation. They just don't give a damn about what you have to say. Those are the worst. For smaller groups speaking isn't all that bad. Just make sure you prepare. But there is good advice in this podcast. Prepare for your talk is indeed important and if not giving the talk, be a good audience member. The advice to examine your fears is spot on, and not just for speaking.
