Thank you for sharing, James. It's always great to see stammering representation on TV and we loved hearing how inspirational this was for you - we need more!
Those who knowโฆ incredible bravery to come out and go on national tv and speak knowing what might happen. @Semaken . Iโve never seen this interview before, but I wish I had 40 years ago, to give me the confidence to speak in public when I was young and scared. @stammer
