Today’s episode is the first of a series of mini-documentaries I plan on producing to show what it feels like to stutter. This first installment talks about the embarrassment of stuttering on our names. We hear from @bibiubrasil, @ridwan326, @stirpicus, @webby49 and @dima7b (thanks guys!).

keep it up

October 17th, 2009 at 22:45What kind of idiotic question is that????? I can’t remember how many times I heard this one!
This is great!!!!!! I am so impressed, your narration, and the music and the guests talking about their stuttering moments. So real, so poignant, so authentic. Great job! Everybody who stutters or cares about people who stutter need to hear this. Wow! I so want to be on one of the next episodes.
October 18th, 2009 at 21:52Saying my own name is the worst. It’s easily the primary thing that keeps me from meeting new people.
November 2nd, 2009 at 23:12My wife bumps into people she knows at the store and there I am, slowly drifting away as if I’m doing something else. All to avoid the fear of stuttering on my own effing name.
I read an article on stuttering once that told a story about a guy who stuttered his own name so badly that he legally changed it to a name he could say fluently. He then began stuttering his new name, while being able to say his old one fluently.
Irony sucks.
Keep Up the great work. I enjoy your site.
This blog sums up my stuttering perfectly. I stutter on B’s so bad and saying my name is such an ordeal. Thsi podcast is great!
