My big fat non-stuttery BBC World News interview Yesterday I appeared on friggin BBC World News, in front of millions of people. And I didn't stutter (not perceptibly at least) ONE SINGLE TIME. I genuinely don't know wtf happened, I never felt so confident in my entire existence. Sometimes I can't even order a pizza on the phone because of my stutter, and I live in Napoli, so that's a HUGE handicap (/s), but somehow I managed to be invited to talk on BBC World News thanks to my passion for journalism, to my articles and my love for football, and deliver a flawless, fluent, British as tea, eloquent (their words, not mine, swear to god) speech about the death of Maradona, for like, three minutes of nonstop talking. It was a fucking miracle, I genuinely believe that Diego helped me from up there. All "cheesyessness" aside, you can do it folks, if I did it, you can do it.
