If explaining to a journalist, first make sure that they promise to let you see and edit their copy before publication, and hope that they will actually do so. When speaking on a platform, eg. podcast, U-Tube etc, know your intended audience and start from first principles

How to make the explanation short and clear without affecting the importance. Iteration and rehearsal is one of the solutions.

Simple as that.  
Also, use fewer words, and no jargon.
