About this episode
Benedict Sheehan is a Grammy-nominated conductor and composer who stutters. His wife, Talia Sheehan, is a professional vocalist and musical educator. In this episode, we talk about the psychology behind people’s responses to stuttering and how people who don’t stutter can be stronger allies for people who stutter. This episode is part one of a two-part conversation with the Sheehans.
Additionally, host Maya talks about California's resolution to recognize Stuttering Awareness Week and plans for a community rally/press conference at the state capitol in Sacramento.
