When I have a presentation to make, I use beamer. When using LaTeX, I have some personal custom environment that cannot be included directly into a beamer presentation. the problem is that beamer don't accept easily verbatim environment. To solve this problem, I suggest you use fragile option.
\begin{frame} %some content \begin{verbatim} some content \end{verbatim} \end{frame}
won't compile whereas
\begin{frame}[fragile] %some content \begin{verbatim} some content \end{verbatim} \end{frame}
will. Most of the time.

Wikibooks explain the use of the fragile/robust command and beamer frame options.
