First off, StutterTalk wants to thank Wesleymiles Graphics for listening and for donating his time to create us a great new StutterTalk logo (check out the new logo on the top left of this page). Thanks Wes!
In this episode, Greg, Peter and Eric discuss altered speech feedback and prosthetic devices for people who stutter. Check out these great articles: The Use of Altered Speech Feedback in Stuttering Management by StutterTalk co-host Greg Snyder and A Brief Historical Review of Assistive Devices for Treating Stuttering by Larry Molt. Also, apologies for the sound quality during this episode. Eric was on his cell phone, and Greg's computer has a mind of its own. We also think Peter's cats, Cosmo and Elbee, are playing with his wires....
We discussed the Edinburgh Masker, the SpeechEasy and assistive devices made by Casa Futura Technologies. The British Stammering Association has put together a page on Electronic Fluency Devices and the National Stuttering Association published a Position on The Speech Easy and other assistive devices. Here are several articles about Greg and the work he has done on altered speech feedback:
The logo below is an idea that Wes sent us as well. So many good logos to choose from!

Thanks to Brooklyn-based bands The Hold Steady and The National for supplying their musical goodness to StutterTalk. We also include some fine music from Eric's bands Rocketship Park and Higgins. At the end of the show, there is a full, un-mixed version of the Higgins tune, "Charlie," from the upcoming Zees record. It kicks.
