CARYN HERRING, ROISIN MCMANUS, and JOEL KORTE (the “Stuttertalk B Team”) reconnect by recording their first show with all three of them for some time. Roisin starts off the show by sharing how her relationship with friends, family, and co-workers has changed after they have read her chapter in the new Stuttertalk book. Joel discusses some of the transitions in his life as well as the process of change. Caryn wraps up the show with a discussion about why some stuttering feels uncomfortable and other stuttering may not.
