This week, Gemma & Matty chat with guest Lynne Mackie all about the Netflix series Bridgerton. The hit show features the main character Simon, who is seen to stammer as a child. Gemma, Matty & Lynne discuss how stammering (or stuttering) is represented and ask if it's a helpful portrayal.
They also talk about how stammering is depicted more widely in TV and film, such as in The Umbrella Academy and A Fish Called Wanda. They also tell each other how they'd like to see stammering portrayed in the future.
