  • So enjoyable.

    I’m listening through these and struck by how sensitively you approach your guests, Matt; it almost feels like listening in on a very gentle therapy session. Fascinating and quite surprising conversations that tell us so much more about the guest than you would ever expect to hear on a podcast about home/homes. Really great.

    Loved this podcast until it brought in the paywall to hold back from people who don’t have the same level of disposable income as others

  • My new favourite

    What an awesome hour or so spent in the company of Dan Pearson. I was already aware of him as a gardener but not as a whole personality and his charming, candid, amusing and inspiring talk with the host was just lovely. On a stormy dark evening here in South Devon it was like a little glimmer of all the comfort and happiness that engagement with a garden can provide.
