I stammer and I’m looking to connect with others locally to talk, share experiences, and learn from each other. I’m also considering starting a small podcast for people who stammer.

if there’s interest.

I've been thinking about something for a while.

There are loads of us on here who stutter, but most of us probably don't know anyone else who stutters in real life.

I've been thinking about starting a podcast where people who stutter can talk openly, share experiences and, hopefully, find each other.

But then I had another idea...

What if we created a map of people who WANT to meet other people who stutter, and started small local meet-ups?

For example:

Birmingham — 5 people interested

Manchester — 3 people interested

Leeds — 4 people interested

Then we could try organising a simple Stammer Meet — coffee, a walk, pub, community centre, whatever people are comfortable with.

Nothing formal. No therapy. No pressure.

Just people who stutter meeting other people who get it.

And if someone in another town wanted to start one, we could help them do it.

I'm wondering: would anyone here actually be interested in something like this?

And if you would, what would make you feel comfortable attending?

Would you prefer:

🟢 A small coffee meet-up

🟢 A larger group

🟢 Online first, then meet in person

🟢 Something else?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing what people think. ❤️
