One small issue here...you will likely need the asterisk outside the
quotes:
rename -v -n 's/^renewal talk //' "renewal talk "*
otherwise, this is my favorite solution for doing such renames.
If you use bash as your shell, you can even use the caret notation to
remove the -n when you're ready to run
$ ^-n
-tim
