\nEpisode #246: What you say is important, not how you say. I chat with French filmmaker Melissa Bronsart, creator of the documentary, L’\xcaloquence du b\xe9giament, also known as The Eloquence of Stuttering. Created in partnership with the Association Parole B\xe9gaiement (the stuttering association in France), M\xe9lissa takes us along the journey of people who stutter as they prepare and compete in a national speech contest which made headlines in the French media. Joining our conversation is Mounah Bizri, co-creator of this unique speech contest for people who stutter.
