Podcast 20 - Unspeakable, by John Paskievich

Stuttering is a common problem that can turn everyday communication into a frustrating ordeal.

John Paskievich is a Winnipeg film-maker who has been stuttering his whole life. In his latest film, Unspeakable, Paskievich explores the everyday trauma that stutterers endure. He argues that stutterers aren’t going to change overnight, so society needs to accept stuttering as a fact of life.
