In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah chat to Matty McLean (or, as he would prefer ... ‘Pockets’). Best known for his years on Breakfast, Matty is a co-host on The Hits Drive with our very own Matilda Green, as well as a co-host on ‘Out the Gayte’ podcast. He’s been a weather presenter, a news reporter, and even took out Celebrity Treasure Island. This chat is full of the signature warmth, humour, and hard-won wisdom Matty is known and loved for. 

He shares what it’s taken to truly back himself in his career, how he’s navigated the expectations that come with being a familiar face, and why you’ve got to speak up when you really want something. Matty shares what it means to him to live authentically, the power of sharing your story, and the profound impact visibility can have on those that are watching and listening, especially our kids. 

In a little friendly rivalry, Matty and Hannah (Bean) go head-to-head in a ‘Battle of the Co-Hosts’. Things get competitive ...

Whether you know him as Matty, Matt, or Pockets, this one’s full of earnest insights, and garnished with giggles.
