I've been working up a science talk for the fall — I am going to do a basic review of many the mechanisms other than selection that contribute to evolution for lay audiences. And then I discover that T. Ryan Gregory has already done some of the work for me.
Maybe I should just plagiarize it?
(No, not really: my talk is less genomics, more development, and gets more basic than this one. But Gregory's talk is very, very good.)

Prof. PZ, have you seen this. The randomness is so appropriate ;)

Thank you for sharing this presentation. I look forward to your autumnal talk. You are an inspiring man, and I wish you the very best of good fortune 'til then and beyond.
