George Newbern performs this memoir by a journalist who became famous after he wrote about President Biden’s stutter and how he overcame it. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss John Hendrickson’s memoir that explores both the author’s own experiences with a stutter and the experiences of others. Newbern’s performance capures Hendrickson’s deep anguish from internalized ableism and an educational system that wasn’t equipped to help students with disabilities. With his ability to create emotional intimacy between the text and the listener, Newbern shows off his incredible range and skill as a narrator.
