Welkom to the Geeky Speechie podcast where we delve into the intersectionality of the health profession and geek culture. Your host, Mialotic, is a passionate speech-language pathologist that’s very nerdy about the science of communication as well as enthusiastic about a lot of aspects of geek culture. The show covers how video games, tabletop roleplaying, TV shows, movies, and even cosplay can serve as valuable tools for communication enhancement. We discuss the strides being made to make games and media more inclusive for individuals with disabilities as well as being more inclusive to everyone using the type of language we choose to use.
The aim is to provide valuable insights, foster discussions, and create a community where listeners can embrace their passions in a meaningful way as well as make pop culture a bit less scary to clinicians and educators that don’t feel confident in this area.
