In this episode, Jamie “The Queen” Rocchio and Dr. Bob Quesal join co-host Eric Jackson to talk about the impact the film The King’s Speech is having on stuttering awareness. The “Trifecta” discusses whether or not we are seeing changes in the public perception of stuttering, shortcomings of the media in discussing issues such as stuttering, and how a disorder/disease is “sexy” when people are looking for its cure.
