There are of course those people who can just turn up and talk with little preparation on almost any subject and have instant audience rapport.
Most are those we consider as successful TV and Radio presenters or after-dinner speakers but I'm sure there are plenty out there who don't have the fame or fortune who are just as capable. On the other hand I've sat through some YouTube offerings ( and it has to be said, some of the older Open University programmes ) where there's definitely something lacking.
One thing I would say for anyone who wants to try it, YouTube, Podcast, Instructables, Make, personal web site or whatever - for PICAXE or anything else - just do it. You'll either enjoy it or find it's not for you, but you'll never know until you try. Once you find your ideal media it can be a great source of enjoyment and personal reward.
