Host Madeline Wahl speaks with Barry Yeoman, a person who stutters and an award-winning journalist whose stories put human faces on complex issues. He lives in North Carolina and teaches journalism at Duke University and Wake Forest University. Barry has been involved in the stuttering self-help movement for more than 30 years and co-founded Passing Twice, an informal network of LGBTQ+ people who stutter and their allies.
