Embodied is a weekly podcast in which host and creator Anita Rao is on a mission to figure out what happens when we bring taboo topics — from sexual pleasure to vasectomies to body hair — out into the light to examine them with journalistic curiosity. This entry is a montage of five episodes from 2021: Accepted, Snipped, Disabled, Incarcerated and Feminized.
Stuttering occurs in every culture with a spoken language. So why do many communities treat it as a source of shame? Two speech-language pathologists and a comedian help Anita question cultural assumptions about stuttering and explore the growing movement to embrace speech diversity.
