Happy Speech Pathology Week!

When we think of speech pathology, we might think of speaking exercises or correcting impediments. But it’s just as much about access, training, and representation for people with vocal difficulties. So what’s happening in the field?

Daniel and Ben speak with our new resident speechie Jamaica Grantis on this episode of Talk the Talk.

Let’s Hear It for the Speechies! (featuring Jamaica Grantis) | Talk the Talk, episode 297

Strobe alert: some scenes contain flashing lights, so if you’re sensitive to that kind of thing, take care. I didn’t notice at the time of filming; sorry about that.

Cutting Room Floor 297: Let’s Hear It for the Speechies

We’re looking over our Radiothon pledges, and we like what we see.

Ben explains why he uses emoji in emails. We bond with our guest Jamaica over frozen food, and find an unexpected point of musical convergence.

What’s happening in America? Daniel diagnoses the ills. But here at home? We don’t have dollarydoos, and this is not okay.

Shana East: There is no such thing as the “alt-Left”.
https://www.facebook.com/secretgeeksociety/posts/10214241396172213

Let’s make something very clear:

There’s no such thing as the ALT-LEFT.

It is a term invented by racists for political cover.

Sorry conservatives. There’s no equivalence between the extreme right and the extreme left.
