In this solo Shop Talk, Bill takes on the R-word’s return to everyday language. He shares the story of his brother-in-law Ben, who has a developmental disability, and what it’s like to watch someone you love be reduced to a punchline. It’s a personal, serious conversation about why words still matter and the toll it takes on families like his.
