Pod Friends features confessional conversations going “behind the mic” with the voices of the RHAP network. Host Matt Scott sits down with a range of podcasters and people to learn about who they are and their whys, far beyond the shows that bring us together. The goal is to truly get to know each guest, and to go beyond just being “pod friends”.
