Oh, hi you all! Welcome back to Shay & The Good People podcast. Today I am talking to my friend, Matt Rodin. He’s an actor, musician, producer, heart-centered spirit artist, and I just love him. We got to know each other when I did his show, Urban Campfire. S&TGP was definitely inspired by that song circle show. We spoke at his apartment before he left to be on the Company national tour.

In this ep, we talk about:

- Performing in our 30s

- Coffee v matcha girlies

- Matt IS Regina from Mean Girls

- Hot Jews in media

- Bonding through working Bar/Bat Mitzvahs

- Shay as a Lady Gaga impersonator

- The Jewish-Aries hustle

- Matt’s podcast called “The Come Up”

- Collective effervescence and being part of something bigger than yourself

- The power of crowd work

- How all humans have the desire to feel seen and heard

Matt Rodin played on the April 11th, 2023 show of Shay & The Good People.

Songs in the episode by Matt Rodin:

- “Window to Nowhere”
