    It’s Not Just Storytelling. It’s Chemistry: Present to Succeed Sofia 2026

    Next Slide Please | It’s Not Just Storytelling. It’s Chemistry: Present to Succeed Sofia 2026 Episode runtime: ~45 minutes Hosts: Emma Pritchard, Andy Bundock, PK Steffen, Mark Robson,  Episode Summary Emma and Andy spent a day streaming Present to Succeed 2026 live from Sofia, Bulgaria, one of Europe's biggest presentation conferences. The theme was storytelling, but what they brought back was bigger than that. This episode unpacks three psychology-led takeaways from the day: 1. Story Chemistry - why story isn't a technique, it's a biological event; 2. The Curiosity Gap - how to engineer curiosity before you've said a word; 3. Constraint and clarity - why subtraction is the hardest, most powerful thing you can do to a presentation. Plus, a peek at what happens inside your head when you stand up to present, and the committee in your head that tries to stop you. Want to watch the full Present to Succeed 2026 sessions?

    Can Claude Design?

    Everyone's talking about Claude Design. But can it actually design?  Spoiler: it depends who's asking. In this episode, we put Claude Design under the microscope and explore the reality behind the hype. All four hosts give their honest verdict. From blank page syndrome to brand drift, from token costs to data centres in the desert. Along the way, we discuss discuss design systems, tackle what AI is changing and how designers and everyday PowerPoint users can stay ahead as the rules keep shifting.  Timestamps 00:09 Introduction to Claude Design 02:24 Exploring Claude Design 04:27 The Speed vs. Quality Debate 07:08 Design Systems and Templates 10:00 The Role of AI in Presentation Design 12:45 Client Perspectives on AI-Generated Designs 16:24 The Cost of AI Tools and Subscriptions 30:55 The Environmental Impact of AI 34:52 Tools Within Tools: Enhancing Design Efficiency Clips used in the making of this video: 07:45: 02ui - Idea to Product: Claude Design vs Lovable: One Prompt, Same Brief 22:00: UI Collective: Claude Design: The Complete Guide Got a presentation challenge, story, or question?  We'd love to hear it.

    Meet your hosts… and a dog named Dave

    This is where it all starts. In this first episode, we introduce the show, the hosts, and one unofficial team member called Dave. Four people who live and breathe presentations - a psychologist, a storyteller, a typography obsessive, and a designer with 20 years of slides under his belt - coming together to help non-designers up their presentation game and designers hate PowerPoint slightly less. Whether you're a presentation designer, a complete PowerPoint sceptic, or somewhere in the middle, this one's for you. No fluff. No filler. Just the beginning of something good.
