Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

#201--The Imitation Game (2014). Thanks for joining us this week where we forget about reviewing this film and instead go on long tangents about the real life story upon which it was based. But we did manage to "crack the code" on what situations Keira Knightley is permitted to be hot.
