The Stuttering Springboard

This is the story of Two Irishmen, one born in America with great Irish roots and one born and raised in County Cork, Ireland.  It's a podcast about connecting our two great countries and raising awareness about stuttering and the importance of early intervention. Our very own Dr. Joe Donaher from CHOP  was welcomed in Ireland by Jamie Googan, a person who stutters who is making conversations about stuttering more acceptable and common. Jamie, founder of Stuttering Awareness Mental Well-being Ireland,  took Joe on a Irish tour, meeting with the Irish Parliament, National sports  teams and other Irish influencers; educating them and changing the perception about what it means to be a person who stutters in Ireland. As we learn in the podcast, it's only the beginning as Joe and Jamie are planning a stuttering Irish exchange program. Take a listen to this funny, and sometimes emotional discussion between these two wonderful Irishmen!
