Congrats!! You should be proud. You worked your academic / professional ass off. And you reached a level of stuttering acceptance that is difficult to reach. I've done radio and TV too. Do you have...

How I see it, you don't know that person on the phone, they have no idea who you are, and you'll probably never see or talk to that person again. So, the only person who knows your embarrassed is your...
