  • Wonderful podcast!

    LITS is a wonderful podcast and Matt is one of the best podcasters out there! Great guests, thoughtful questions and always interesting discussions. Some of the episodes I’ve enjoyed most are with guests I wasn’t familiar with and that’s always the sign of a decent show.

  • Matt & Chas

    Always great to hear Chas talk Lightyear, solo and potential film but this one goes deep and is all the more beautiful for it.

  • Avoid

    One of the worst podcasts I have ever listened to. Utterly clueless host who is so ego driven it’s embarrassing. Avoid at all costs
