Barry Brophy Interview on Tubridy Show with Dave Fanning on New Book ‘Awful Presentations’
Wednesday, 8 November, 2017
Lecturer Barry Brophy – based in the UCD School of Mechanical & Materials engineering, who lectures technical communication across UCD – guested on the Ryan Tubridy show last week to talk about his new book, ‘Awful Presentations – Why We Have Them and How to Put Them Right’. Stand-in host Dave Fanning is known for his quick-fire presenting style so it was a breathless conversation that covered a lot of ground.
You can listen back to the full interview (opens in a new window)here.
