Episode 002: What is TARSS?

In this episode, Kim is going to chat with the guest co-host, podcast co-producer and technical genius of this podcast series, Steph Robson.

They will talk about how she started supporting fellow RSS adults via online forums a number of years ago.

Also, they talk about how Kim created the TARSS, Teens and Adults with Russell Silver Syndrome, Facebook group.

The TARSS group is a very important part of this podcast series. Steph will also discuss her personal projects and activism within the wider dwarfism community.
