William Laven, founder and host of Stammer Stories podcast, and ASC Stambassador sat down with David Pinto-Duschinsky MP, Member of Parliament for Hendon to talk about growing up with a stammer, ambition, representation, and what it means to find your voice in public life.

This is a must-listen episode where you'll be inspired, encouraged, and empowered by both William's and David's stories carrying a powerful message: having a stammer should never stop you from going after what you want.
