Out of the Fog: How Having a Stroke Saved My Life with Michael Shutt

Out of the Fog with Karen Hager - A podcast by Karen Hager

In 2015, when Michael Shutt was in his 40s, he experienced a series of three inexplicable and life-changing strokes. The strokes, he insists, were the best thing that ever happened to him. He used his life’s work as an actor, singer, and storyteller to find creative ways of overcoming paralysis, memory loss, and vision loss and ultimately reclaim his life. Michael Shutt has been a professional actor, director, and producer for the last 30 years. He is the writer and performer of A Lesson In Swimming, a solo show about his terrifying, surreal, absurd, and empowering journey through three strokes and subsequent recovery.
