Living life on high alert
NB: During the welcome to this episode of The Different Stories Podcast and during the conversation itself, you will hear it referred to as The Other Stories Podcast.
That was the original name of the podcast until we were requested to change it in November 2023, due to the presence of another podcast of the same name, of a completely different genre.
The podcast is now known as The Different Stories Podcast across all platforms.
Following an accident, Ruth Fogg was deaf from the age of 3 years old but she’s never let it hold her back.
As she shares her story about being determined to not stand out for her deafness, you’ll hear how she successfully made her way through her teacher training and into her teaching career.
Being an expert at lip-reading has its advantages!
