Astounding piece of audio entertainment! Highly recommended!
Dyslexia podcast
I’ve been listening to your podcasts for over a year and have always really enjoyed them. Recently, I listened to the one on dyslexia and was really dissappointed. As someone struggling with dyslexia myself I found that it gave a very narrowed view of the problem. For example, most dyslexics are able to write or read, just not as well as their nondyslexic peers. I study languages at university and manage quite well without any extra aids. Dyslexia is on a spectrum and I feel that was not articulated clearly enough on this episode and it might lead to those who are fairly proficient in these skills to not seek for the help they need.
The best Podcast show
I listen to SYSK everyday, love the hosts, love the topics, go listen to it 😀
