Episode 19: Samira Ahmed (New Years Eve Special 2021)

To celebrate the new year, we have a very special guest on Stammer Stories. That is Samira Ahmed! Some may know Samira for being a presenter at the BBC. She presents Front Row on Radio 4 and Newswatch on BBC1 and used to present Channel 4 News. Samira herself doesn’t stammer but her son does so we cover the topic from a different perspective. In this episode we discuss Samira’s story of being a parent of someone who stammers, how it has affected her son but also the work she does for the Michael Palin Centre. Please make sure to give us a follow on whatever platform you are listening to this on but also on our Instagram and Twitter page. If you would also like to be a guest, please reach out!
