Inside SLP is a limited series podcast that reveals how our profession came to be and why it functions the way it does. Most clinicians work inside a system they were never taught to see, shaped by decades of history, policy, economics, and unspoken assumptions. This show offers lightbulb moments that bring clarity to the structures beneath our everyday work and opens space for thoughtful, grounde... more

For the first 20 episodes of Inside SLP, we explored the history of speech-language pathology and the systems that shape our profession today. We looked at how licensure, certification, clinical training, and professional identity evolved over time, ... more
For twenty episodes, we’ve been examining the architecture of a profession under strain, including its history, its blind spots, and the pressures it was never designed to hold. In this final episode, we step back from diagnosis and turn toward orien... more
Anger can feel clarifying, but without context, it rarely leads anywhere new. In this episode, we step back from the outrage cycle to examine what’s sitting underneath it: systemic grief, misaligned training models, and the shame many clinicians carr... more
The intensity in SLP spaces right now isn’t a sign of collapse. It’s the friction of a profession that has grown faster than the structures built to support it. In this episode, we slow the noise down to examine what’s actually underneath the debates... more

This is one of those podcast that every SLP needs to listen to. The information is so valuable, and I doubt many SLPs know this history. I see on social media and hear from my colleagues the outrage they have re: ASHA.
This podcast does not deny a broken system, but gives us the history and details on what ASHA has authority to change and what they don’t. Just encouraging people to give up their CCCs never felt right to me, but now I have a better understanding of why my gut was telling m... more
This podcast was such a breath of relief in a conversation within our field that feels so contentious and fiery. Megan encourages listeners to hold and sit with the complexities of multiple, conflicting truths. In order to understand why the profession is the way it is, we have to look at the history! Megan shares this information with clarity and calm. I plan to tell all my colleagues about this podcast, and I hope that more people will listen to this. Thank you, Megan, for this work.
Thank you for the nuanced approach to the challenges in our field. I learned so much for this podcast, and I plan to share this information with my coworkers!
Rather than centering on anger or frustration, this podcast invites listeners into something more productive: curiosity. It encourages us to think critically about where our profession has been, where we are now, and where we still have room [and the need] to grow. The conversation feels grounded in real history and the realities of SLP practice while also asking important questions about identity, systems, and sustainability in a way that feels reflective rather than reactive.

I have been an SLP for 40 years and NEVER have I had such a clear, cohesive explanation of how we came to be as a profession. So much makes sense now! Thank you for bringing this to light. You have done a great service to our profession.

This limited series offers a historically grounded look at how the speech-language pathology field evolved, why current systems operate the way they do, and who holds influence over practice, training, and credentialing. Across episodes, listeners encounter deep dives into governance, certification, funding, and professional culture, framed by thoughtful critique and a tendency to connect past decisions with present-day realities. The host guides conversations with nuance and care, inviting clinicians to understand structural forces beyond individual practice, and to engage with the profession's future with curiosity rather than outrage. A standout trait is the consistent, pragmatic balance between history, policy, and practitioner experien... more
