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!

Saying my own name is the worst. It’s easily the primary thing that keeps me from meeting new people.
My 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 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.

Great mini documentary! Its weird indeed that most people who stutter do so specially on their names. Something that is so easy to do and many take for granted, we need to go through embarrassment and weird looks every time have to say our names.

keep it up
