e244 - When Bullet Points Go So Bad They Are Not Needed

In Episode 244 of the Presentation Podcast, hosts Troy, Sandy, and Nolan use a real client slide as a case study to discuss when bullet points hurt rather than help a slide. Join the conversation as they explore how unnecessary bullets clutter slides, disrupt narrative flow, and actually reduce audience retention. Get into design alternatives, and if bullet points are needed in numbered lists, icon layouts, diagrams, timelines and visual hierarchies.

Oh, and they also catch up on recent travels and share industry news! That part of the discussion includes Microsoft's new AI image tool, practical travel tips on Global Entry, a new podcast tracking site... and plant pest control!
