Today, my conversation with @ridwa326 continues from last week’s episode with @stutterrockstar joining in (along with special guest Gene). We ponder our increase in our stuttering the past few weeks and that of our fellow stuttering friends. Is it the summer holidays? Mercury in [...]

On today’s show, I share a recent epiphany-like event at a Korean grill restaurant. Yes, epiphanies can occur anywhere ;) Namely, stuttering with confidence. Stuttering without recoiling from social punishment despite the weird looks we get. Then the following night, I had a mind-blowing conversation about this with fellow stutterers on Twitter. Together, we shared [...]

Quack and Anti-Quack

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

I already chose a character for the quack. “Idiot” is a character I created years ago when I worked at a design firm. Fast forward to today, he is the perfect character to represent the junk science about stuttering.

Here’s what I came up with for my Anti-Quack character who, as you’ve most likely guessed, is [...]
