E216. Phil Hanley Explains The Gifts Of Dyslexia

Comedian Phil Hanley drops in to talk about his new stand up special Oh La La. He and Bridget discuss what it was like for him growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia, the challenges but also the gifts of dyslexia, the book he is writing about it, and the most important thing he thinks parents should know about raising a child who is dyslexic. They talk about the failures of the school system to support children with dyslexia, why it made him good at crowd work as a comic, dealing with stage fright, drinking and stand up, the triumph of the human spirit, and the things we take for granted.Sponsor Links:Progressive Insurance - https://pgrs.in/3Dp5ZIWYour Welcome Podcast - https://bit.ly/WiW-YourWelcome This is a public episode.
