About this listen

In 2013, following nine years of teaching in Istanbul after having received speech therapy at The City Literary Institute in London, writer, artist and lecturer Sean Bw Parker gave a TED talk titled Stammering and Creativity at TEDxModa. To speak or not to speak? Whether in English teaching, giving a public talk or anywhere else in society, people who stammer face unique challenges compared to the 99% speech-typical. Compelling Speech charts a course from the author's life up to these points, tracking the social and cultural-political context of communication differences through the changing cultural climate of the times.

'The left brain is perfectly fine getting on with business thank you, and processing it at a regular and predictable clip. Or at least would until the wild, chaotic, imaginative, Dionysian right brain gets wind of things, and shoots electric tendrils like instantaneous, microscopic lighting bolts across the bows of the hemisphere-separating membrane.'
