Podcast for Up and Coming Speechies

Recently I was interviewed by Hannah McKerral and Sienna McCormack, two up and coming speech pathologists for their podcast. The resulting 27 minute interview is here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/in-the-loop-professor-sharynne-mcleod/id1528880071?i=1000529636429
They certainly asked some interesting questions - and I have enjoyed listening to their other podcasts exploring the lives of Australian speech pathologists. Here is their abstract:

In today’s Up + Coming Speechies in the loop episode, we are SO excited to be chatting to Professor Sharynne McLeod. Sharynne is a professor of speech and language acquisition, researcher and advocate for communication rights for all. She specialises in multilingual children’s speech acquisition and children with speech sound disorders. She has made an incredible contribution to our profession, and after learning from her books and research for many years it was an honour to sit down and chat with her. In this episode we talk about Sharynne’s career pathway, her research and incredible experiences, including presenting to the United Nations and her most current projects. This episode was a quick and speedy one, but we absolutely loved hearing about Sharynne's rich experiences and hope you do too! If this is your first time checking us out, hellooo!!! Thanks so much for listening! We are Sienna and Hannah, two Australian Speech Pathology students wanting to help educate, motivate and inspire other speech students, recent graduates or even someone thinking about studying Speech Pathology through student-friendly interview episodes.
