  • Matt's energy, infectious enthusiasm, and verve make his podcasts so much fun -- but he balances this passion with deep erudition… And a heart and soul that are wide open to exploring difficult, fascinating, uncomfortable, and flat out crazy subjects. He kind of ranges from hilarious to heartbreaking on what feels like an epic journey for listeners.
