Stuttering as Art, the podcast, is all about exploring the ways people who stutter create works of art alongside and involving their stutter.
Host Madeline Wahl speaks with Vince Vawter, a retired newspaper editor and publisher. Vawter is the author of the popular Paperboy Trilogy, a series of autobiographical novels that follow the life of a boy from age 11 to 21 as he grows up in the segregated South and deals with a worrisome stutter. The first book of the series, Paperboy, was a 2014 Newbery Honor Book published by Penguin Random House. Paperboy has sold more than a quarter-million copies and has been translated into 20 languages. The Manhattan School of Music premiered a musical adapted from the book in 2023 in New York.
Together, they talk about writing fiction, stuttering and fluency, and how Vawter didn’t let his stutter stop him from pursuing his dreams.
