Welcome to the very first episode of Around The Block, a podcast all about stammering, or stuttering, from STAMMA, the British Stammering Association.

Hosts Gemma and Matty chat about life, jobs and relationships as people who stammer.  In episode 1 we meet Gemma and Matty, and listen as they find out more about each other. They chat about growing up with a stammer, their jobs and how stammering affects them at work - Gemma in TV and Matty as the co-owner of a street food start-up.

This episode was recorded in February 2020 before the pandemic hit. In episode 2 we find out how they coped with stammering in lockdown.
