CARYN HERRING, JOEL KORTE and ROISIN MCMANUS (of the “StutterTalk B Team“) discuss Joel’s admission to a recent increase in his stuttering. This evolves into a brief discussion on secondary behaviors, and later, the trio talks about how a years of work in stuttering management can build a foundation for later in life. They conclude the show by discussing the hypothetical (and entirely unrealistic) question, “How many hours a day would you put into working on your stuttering if that work guaranteed a cure for your stuttering?”
