Canadian stand-up comedian Phil Hanley has lived with severe dyslexia for so long he can’t see life any other way.

That’s something he writes about in his new memoir, Spellbound: My Life as a Dyslexic Wordsmith. Phil sits down with guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about his fascinating life (including a brief modelling career in the ’90s) and how comedy gave him the confidence to overcome his shame.

Liverpool defender Giovanni Leoni has opened up on his struggles with dyslexia.

Asked if dyslexia was a problem for him while growing up, he responded: “Yes, of course.

“When I read a text, some words or letters would get mixed up. When they asked me to read aloud, I had a really hard time. I’ve always been a bit shy when it comes to speaking, but that’s much lessened now.

“The fact is that your classmates always see you as different from them. For example, when you take tests or homework, if you’re dyslexic, you can hold up your diagram in front of your eyes and the others will say, ‘We want that too.’
