Voice Recognition: Does how we sound determine who we are?

What do our voices say about us? On this edition we explore voice and identity.

We'll hear from someone who nearly lost their voice, the challenges that come with ordering a pizza with a speech generating device, and and how voice contributes to trans women's sense of safety and of self.

Featuring:

• Mya Byrne, singer-songwriter
