Matt is a thoughtful and funny interviewer who really does bring out the best in all his interviewees. As Tom Tugendhat says in a recent episode, Matt isn’t trying to get to a ‘gotcha moment’. Instead, we discover something about the people behind the politics, with a bit of a laugh along the way.
Highly recommended!

Sometimes I think about skipping episodes because I’m not keen on the politician or an hour+ seems like a big commitment, but I never regret listening.
