For individuals where YouTube is not available, People Who Stutter, INSPIRE! is also on the MSU, Mankato streaming server. It plays on QuickTime. For some reason, the streamed copy sometimes stops playing. If that happens, hit the two parallel lines at the bottom left on the screen. It turns into an arrow. Hit the arrow and a circular arrow appears. When that arrow stops moving, hit it again and the streaming video will continue.
