Tonight I go out of my comfort zone and attend a house party where I know very few people. And the party goers are old friends. This episode documents what this brave stutterer does…

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!
Join the Facebook page and chat with me on Twitter — I'm @stutterdude.
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS for getting out of your comfort zone. Stutter or no stutter, this is something people are scared to do.
Second of all, thanks for the story, I enjoyed it very much. Touching, funny, informative, and so well said. BRAVO!
When going out to a party or any other function, how about wearing a name tag that says: “Hi, my name is Daniele and I stutter.” Now THERE’S a conversation starter for ya!
Because I think the problem with most people being somewhat “different” is that it makes the rest of the people nervous or embarrassed. They will try to make believe they don’t notice or they just plain won’t know how to act or react. So by putting it out in the open, you’ll help everyone relax, they’ll know you’re okay with it, that you’re totally relaxed and can even joke about it.
And a VERY interesting topic for conversation would be the fact that you have this great website. I mean, geez Daniele…this place is so cool!
Hope to meet you one day, dear friend :-)
Big hugs and lots of LOVE,
