We’re picking up where we left off last time on Hyperfocus for the conclusion of our two-part series on the R-word’s resurgence.

Today, we meet a comedy writer who shares his personal evolution with the word and hear from a disability advocate.

We’ll also learn more from our research correspondent, Dr. KJ Wynne, and have producer Cody Nelson back on to hear from host Rae Jacobson about what she’s learned.
