  • Gem of a pod!

    I had sort of forgotten about My So-Called Life when I came across Matt’s video on the show on YouTube.

    This prompted me to rewatch and listen along. Love the guests and their perspectives on the show.

  • My So-Called Teens

    I have been obsessed with this show for 30 years, and now my YouTube crush created a whole podcast dissecting every detail with a bunch of my parasocial friends (I including my future-husban, Michael Hobbs)! For everyone who watched MSCL and saw themselves in the characters as we navigated the 90’s, this podcast is for you!

  • Witty and fresh.

    Love him, love this, experiencing queer culture from a 90’s view. My so called life was a great show you can look forward to listening to this so called podcast. Matt is on point with his pop culture and is always informative.

They let their hair down, and we are invited to ease drop. My So Called Life is the perfect prism for viewing the wider world and this format is highly entertai... more

  • Never had so much fun with a watchalong!

    As a recent patreon member of Matt Baume, I was intrigued and excited to see this new podcast pop up when he made the announcement.

It’s an amazing show and made sooo much more interesting with Matt’s commentary and interviews. I love to hear from people who watched the show as teens, and the in depth character analysis gives tons of extra contex... more
