In this episode, Jaan Pill joins me in a Thai restaurant (anyone for pad thai?) to chat about his experiences with speech therapy, the ISTAR program, the Stuttering Association of Toronto, and creating his own method of controlling his rate of speech. Afterwards, we go slightly off topic and briefly talk about the time [...]

I’m the one who gets interviewed on this episode! Remember way back in episode… um… well, about this time last year when I had Greg Snyder on my show? He’s a University professor who once in a while asks stutterers to come in to his class for a Q&A session. It’s a great chance [...]

Today’s episode begins with a nighttime winter’s walk from the bus while I tell a positive story about disclosing my stuttering at a meetup I attended for iPhone developers.

Happy New Year! Happy New Decade! The first episode of Stuttering is Cool for 2010 is a chat with Eric Stirpe, an aspiring animator and who also doesn’t let his stuttering get in his way. Since we chat over video, I can see all his secondaries ;) After my chat with Eric, I play some [...]

Remember when I participated in a stuttering study back in episode 20? Today I go back to participate in a second one. I interview Kim Bauerly who is currently a PhD student at the University of Toronto who explains how her research has the potential to improve speech therapy. Also in this episode is a [...]
