FRED Talks, an acronym for 'Friends Relating, Entertaining, Discussing' and legally safe parody of 📝TED, is self-described as "TED with Friends." FRED Talkers share stuff they know, do, wonder about, study, stand in awe of, create, and/or enjoy. As their about page describes:
We’ve had FRED Talks on wacky patents; non-profits that focus on teaching yoga in Africa, saving cats, and Rett Syndrome (um, that was three different Talks); erotic poetry (!!); how to meditate; how to improve your flying skills; how to find your center; we’ve seen great photos; heard great music; and we learned why we shouldn’t eat sugar (honestly, kind of a bummer).
I was introduced to FRED Talks by 📝Ted Whetstone.
