Today we go into a pub for a stuttering meetup! I recorded about 20 minutes to give you a slice of life in the stuttering meetups that I attend almost every month. I always have a blast and enjoy great conversation about stuttering and non-stuttering related topics. If you ever have a chance to go to a stuttering meetup, totally go!

This is an open-mic podcast. I encourage you to record some audio of yourself and email it to me at coolstutter@gmail.com.
I'll play it on my next episode!
This way, we all hear each other stutter and feel less alone with our speech impediment!

Interesting episode. For me I don’t think I would fare well in a stuttering meet up should there be one in my country. I say this because I find my stuttering is a lot worse with groups of people than if I am just speaking to someone one on one. Obviously everyone at the meeting is a fellow stutterer so I guess there is less pressure than a similar everyday situation but I still think I would struggle. Is your own stutter any worse in groups as opposed to one on one situations or is there not much difference?

At my Toastmasters group, no one minds how much we all stutter. That’s the best part :) If you ever find such a group in your area, give it a try. It’s an awesome experience to stutter openly among other stutterers – where everyone shares the exact same experiences as you!
