I’ve been hearing the tired slurs against β€œsage on a stage” model for 20+ years. Only leftist education ideologues with more abstract ideas than communications experience take them seriously. Person on stage is just a method like any other. Good for some things, not for others.

Aaron’s original comment referenced the β€œdead pedagogical tool” view... that’s a big tent including everything from K-12 and units to church sermons. Business/industry conferences are a narrow slice. Pay-to-play quasi-sponsor talks etc are an even narrower one...

Frankly for any deep topic where I know little , I’d rather shut up, stay in my seat and listen to someone on stage who knows what they’re talking about. Which is not to say I don’t also like other formats for other things.
