  • Immensely relevant

    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.

  • Ashley St. Claire Interview

    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.
