4. Dysfluent with Conor Foran
How should stuttering look in text? Can representations of stuttering in written form reflect its spontaneity and variety? Host Patrick Campbell is joined by Chris Constantino and artist Conor Foran to discuss how Conor’s final project in art school led him to a decade-long project in creating a typeface, Dysfluent Mono, that represents stuttering. Conor explains how the font tries to escape stereotypical references of stuttering and his journey to publishing the magazine Dysfluent, which uses the font.

3. Stuttering Gain with Christopher Constantino
What does it mean to be proud of one’s stutter? What does one gain from their stutter? Hosts Patrick, Maria, and Josh are joined by Chris Constantino to discuss his radical essay Stuttering Gain and dive into the world of stuttering pride. In this episode, they talk about the unique experience of stuttering and how we can find benefit in stuttering, as opposed to only thinking about stuttering as a lack of fluency. While the experience of stuttering is difficult, Chris argues that this doesn’t mean there is nothing we have to gain or be proud of.
