Love this podcast! Thank you for your voice, Matt.
(un)religiously listening from France since the very first episode and counting on doing so for the years to come. We’re all in this together ❤️🩹
I love listening to this podcast when I travel around (I’m in London) it’s fun and fascinating and I have a lot of respect for Matt, what he does with the podcast really isn’t easy.
Great thorough work and thoughtful analysis. Topics are always well chosen, slightly niche sometimes, but always very well broken down for novices like me, like a lot of celebrities I never heard of are discussed, I don’t live in the States so I don’t always know about them.
I’ve been a fan of this show and Matt’s work in general, but MY GOD, the interview with Ashley St. Clair is SO GOOD. A masterclass in how to conduct a complex interview with a complicated subject. You gave grace while not letting her off the hook. You asked hard questions but didn’t beat her into the ground. She gained respect in my book too, honestly, because she acknowledged how uncomfortable she was without backing away or getting defensive. What an excellent episode.
